Knowing your cost of attendance, financial aid disbursement, and tuition details will better assist you to budget and plan the financing of your education.
The cost of attendance components include:
- tuition,
- fees,
- books,
- room & board,
- personal/miscellaneous expenses, and
- transportation.
They are based on average costs for an academic year. The Office of Student Services takes the cost of attendance into consideration, along with your financial need, when awarding scholarships, work-study and loans. The combination of any federal, state and institutional aid cannot exceed the cost of attendance. You may view your individual student budget on your Financial Aid Self-service Portal within STANLEY.
The official cost of attendance is found below.
