Understanding your Financial Aid
Financial aid awards are based on financial need, availability of funds, and the student's expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC is calculated from the information submitted though FAFSA. Financial need is determined by subtracting the EFC from the Cost of Attendance.
Includes tuition and fees, indirect costs, room and board, and estimated federal loan fees. The total amount of aid a student receives may not exceed his/her total cost of attendance. This includes, scholarships, loans, and external funding.
