Review common direct and indirect costs schools may include in an annual budget.
Program rules, amounts, and dates can change. Check the linked official sources for the current cycle.
Look beyond tuition
A school’s cost of attendance may include tuition and fees, books and supplies, food and housing, transportation, and other estimated expenses.
Separate billed and personal costs
Some charges go to the school; other estimates may be paid to outside providers. Include both in your planning.
Use current school information
Check the cost page and aid offer for your program, enrollment, and housing assumptions. Ask the financial aid office about your circumstances.
