Estimated Costs
The following breakdown is the average college costs and expenses provided to
assist your educational expenses for the period of enrollment (fall and spring
semesters). These amounts are also used to determine your financial aid. It consists
of tuition, fees, average cost for room and board, (actual cost if the student lives on
campus), books and supplies, transportation and miscellaneous or personal expenses.

and board (if you plan to live on campus). In addition, required equipment,
childcare expenses, etc may be included in your budget, if requested with proper

Family Contribution Determination
Since financial aid is intended as a supplement to your family’s resources, you and your
family will be expected to contribute as much as possible toward your educational
expenses. When considering how much your family will be expected to contribute, you
should not jump to conclusions. Determining how much your family can pay toward
college expenses is a complicated process that involves much more than looking at how
much you (and your parents/spouse if applicable) earn.

Basic Types of Financial Aid
There are three basic types of financial aid:
Scholarships/Grants – Funds that you do not repay. These are usually awarded on the basis of availability and/or financial need.
Loans – Funds that must be repaid at a predetermined interest rate over a specific period of time.
Employment – Earning money either on or off campus during the academic year.
