The amount of your award is determined by the amount of your 铿乶ancial need and available funding. The greater your need, the more aid we can offer you. The kind of aid you are awarded depends on your eligibility for the various aid programs. Each program has its own requirements. Most students are offered a combination of gift assistance (grants and scholarships that don't have to be repaid) and self-help aid (loans and/or work-study opportunities).
In general, need is de铿乶ed as the difference between the amount it costs you to attend college for one year and the amount you and your family can afford to pay according to the. Costs vary from college to college, but for the most part, your ability to contribute is the same no matter where you apply. You might be eligible for financial aid from 91探花 even if you are not eligible at other colleges.
91探花 uses the federal methodology to determine a family's expected contribution. If using this methodology for college does not provide a family with enough assistance, students may submit letters explaining extenuating 铿乶ancial circumstances, after they have received their initial award letters.
All students are awarded assistance based on the data they provide on the FAFSA. Special circumstances are reviewed after all students have received 铿乶ancial aid offers.
The expenses for books and housing are included in the calculation as part of your costs, as is a moderate allowance for personal expenses like clothing and health insurance. The 2018-19 average undergraduate budget for a student living on campus is $61,608 for the nine-month academic year. This includes full-time tuition, room and board, and an allowance for books, transportation, and personal expenses.
These 铿乬ures are re-examined and adjusted each year for inflation and other factors. Students with extra expenses (such as unusual medical or day-care costs) can have their budgets adjusted to include these expenses as well.
The Student Financial Services Of铿乧e posts employment opportunities for students choosing to work part-time. The PLUS and unsubsidized loan programs are available and are not based on need.
