The federal government requires all colleges and universities to estimate the cost of attendance for one year. These figures form the foundation upon which financial aid is determined. In our estimate, we include average figures for tuition, fees (including out-of-state fee charges if applicable), books and supplies, room, board, expenses for basic personal needs, and transportation from a reasonable geographic area. Since we use averages, some students will have costs that are less while others will be higher than those listed; however, the basic budget figures shown in the budget chart below are consistently used for all students in similar categories.
