* Cost of attendance is based on a 9-month period.
** These are maximum figures. You should reduce your loan if you expect your costs to be less.
*** Tuition fee varies depending on the program and its start date. Current tuition information is available through the Admissions Office. The amount of the tuition fee will be added to the above COA. The financial aid will first be applied as a payment towards your tuition fee; the remaining funds will be transferred to your bank account.

Financial Need

Your financial need is determined using your estimated COA and your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is the result of a formula developed by the U.S. Congress that calculates the information you submitted on your FAFSA. Please keep in mind that your calculated EFC and financial need does not represent the dollar amount that you and your parents (if dependent) must come up with to pay the university.

Formula for calculating financial need:

Cost of Attendance (COA) - EFC = Financial Need

Please note that you must have financial need in order to be eligible for need based financial aid such as Federal Direct Subsidized Loan.
