Student Financial Aid

Cost of Attendance

How your financial aid is calculated Cost of Attendance (COA) minus Student Aid Index (SAI) equals Financial Need

Calculating Cost

The Office of Student Financial Assistance determines your financial aid eligibility by subtracting your Student Aid Index (SAI) and Other Financial Assistance (OFA) from your Cost of Attendance (COA). The information you report on your FAFSA is used in a formula established by the U.S. Congress, which determines your SAI. The COA that your financial aid package is based upon reflects standard and reasonable costs.
