Cost of Attendance/Budget

The cost of attendance is the cornerstone of establishing a student’s financial need as it sets a limit on the total aid that a student may receive for Title IV funding purposes. The cost of attendance for a student is an estimate of that student’s educational expenses for the period of enrollment.
