The Financial Aid Cost of Attendance includes estimated tuition and fees assessed
a student, together with an estimate of the cost of food and housing, transportation,
books and supplies, miscellaneous personal expenses, and student loan fees. Your estimated
Cost of Attendance determines the maximum amount of aid you receive.

ability to pay or Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). (Cost of Attendance - EFC = Documented Need)
