Estimated Student Aid Funds

Grants and scholarships are offers that do not have to be repaid. The amount listed is based upon full time enrollment (12+ hours). If you are enrolled for less than full time, the offer will adjust to the eligible amount on your invoice.

Estimated Cost of Attendance

The estimated direct costs are those costs paid directly to the university and billed through your 91ÁÔÆæ student account in the Bursar’s Office. Your direct costs will vary depending on things such as whether you are full or part-time, or if you have coursework that includes a lab fee, etc.

What other estimated costs should I prepare for?

Estimated costs include other expenses to attend 91ÁÔÆæ for the semester(s) listed, not just expenses paid directly to 91ÁÔÆæ. This includes estimated cost related to books, course materials, supplies, and equipment, living expenses, personal expenses, transportation expenses, etc. Note: Food and housing will be paid directly to the University if you are living in on-campus housing.

Options to Pay

You may pay your remaining Direct Costs through payments to the Bursar's Office or make monthly payments by signing up for the payment plan. Loans are always optional and offered to you to assist in meeting your costs. If you wish to borrow loans, you must accept them in and complete a Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling on .

After you receive your offer notice and have become familiar with your financial aid offer, what should you do next?  If you are offered any grant or scholarship money – (which does not need to be repaid, i.e., HOPE, Pell, etc.), these funds do not require acceptance on your part.  If you have been offered student loans, you may accept, decline or reduce the amount of loan you wish to receive or not receive.
