Cost of Attendance
The costs that you are thinking about are probably tuition, fees and books. Remember that you will also have living expenses. Before we award aid to you, we construct a budget that includes all of those expenses in addition to tuition, fees and books.
We call that budget your Cost of Attendance (COA) and it represents the maximum number dollars that you may receive from any source of financial assistance in an academic period.
If it is fully funded through the various sources of funds, it will provide the means for you to maintain a simple but reasonable lifestyle. This is a lifestyle that does not include car payments, exotic vacations or engagement rings, but it does include:
- rent
- food
- utilities
- household needs
- transportation support
- and modest entertainment
Keep in mind that there may be an unavoidable gap between the aid we can offer to you and your actual costs. There are many ways to fill that gap including part time employment, personal resources and family assistance. You may also be eligible for scholarships from IPFW or earn a scholarship from your high school or community. By being creative and thrifty with your money, you may discover that you do not even need as much money as we have allowed.
