Apply for Aid Frequently Asked Questions

Cost of Attendance

The first component in determining your financial aid package is your cost of attendance (COA). Each year, the Office of Financial Aid carefully prepares the COA for each class. Certain budget components, such as tuition and University fees, are standard for all classes, while other expenses, such as national board exam fees, are class-specific.
