A student's financial aid award is established on an individual basis, but the cost of attendance varies little from one student to another. The amount used for Tuition is based on actual charges as determined by the Board of Trustees. Room is based upon the cost of living in a double room and Board is based upon the largest meal plan of 175 meals a term. Books & Supplies, Personal Expenses, and Travel are determined by periodic student surveys of actual costs, as well as by researching textbook prices at Conkeys. The annual Student Activity fee is included in the cost of attendance budget as well.
