Other Costs to Consider
Books/Supplies
You will likely need to purchase books, supplies, and computer software during your time as a student. This expense varies depending on the status of your current computer, the accessibility and stature of local libraries, and your personal needs. We estimate that the average student spends $350/year for this category.
Transportation
You will travel to face-to-face events, such as clusters or meetings with faculty, or to other locations to support your scholarly research. This expense varies depending on location, number of events attended, and personal travel preferences. We estimate that the average student spends $1,000/year on transportation for academic purposes.
Additional Considerations for Calculating Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office distributes an annual cost of education (or cost of attendance) budget for each of the financial aid eligible academic programs. This budget is used to calculate need eligibility for Federal Subsidized Stafford loans, as well as some scholarships. It also provides a cap for maximum allowable aid.
In addition to the costs listed above, the budget includes standard estimates of $1,000/month for room, $500/month for board, and $100/month for personal expenses. Significant cost increases due to individual circumstances, such as disabilities, dependent care, or computer purchase may be considered on an individual basis.
