Academic Year Budgets

Budgets for Cost of Attendance (COA)

We subtract (EFC) Expected Family Contribution, number we get from FAFSA calculations, from the (COA) Cost of Attendance for the year to determine financial need and eligibility for financial aid. 

To determine your budget, add tuition and fees for the amount of credits for which you will enroll to your living costs and your book allowance.
