Graduate Cost of Attendance

Every US institution publishes a cost of attendance -- these estimates are the best way to compare costs associated with enrolling in a graduate program.

Financial Aid Documentation

If you have completed a FAFSA form and received your letter from the Office of Financial Aid, we've provided some additional supporting information here:

Understanding Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance figure includes fixed expenses (like tuition and fees) and estimated expenses (like rent, food, and supplies). Put together those expenses helps you understand the true cost of attending a graduate program, factoring tuition and cost of living into a single total. 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 uses a 10-month student budget: August through May. Some institutions use a 9-month budget, others a 12-month budget. Be sure to double-check each institution's cost of attendance to ensure you're making an accurate comparison.

How Cost of Attendance is Used

Not only is the cost of attendance helpful for planning your student budget, but it is also used for two practical parts of the admission process:

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA): Federal Student Aid (FAFSA): Once 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 receives your
completed FAFSA, and no issues are preventing the awarding, the Financial Aid Office
determines your eligibility for federal aid as follows: Cost of Attendance minus any scholarships and grants equals Other Financial Assistance (OFA). Other Financial Assistance can include Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan or Private Educational Loans. Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per academic year through the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan program. However, students are not required to accept the full loan amount offered and may choose to borrow only what they need. Students who require additional funding to cover educational expenses, included in the Cost of Attendance, may also consider applying for private education loans.
I-20 for Student Visas: If you are an international student, you are required to demonstrate that you have financial resources to cover the cost of attendance minus scholarships in order to receive a student visa. For more information on financial requirements for international students, please visit our I-20 preparation page. International students are not eligible for federal student loans without a US citizen or permanent resident as a cosigner.
