FINANCIAL AID

SCHOLARSHIPS

Financial Aid Cost of Attendance

1. New first-year and transfer students are eligible to receive Honor Scholarships. See the details on page 8.

Mayville State University Financial Aid ensures that Cost of Attendance (COA) accounts for essential living expenses, including provisions for transportation, housing, food (3 meals a day/7 days a week), books, and other miscellaneous personal expenses throughout each semester.

This comprehensive approach to budgeting reflects the university’s commitment to supporting students’ holistic well-being during their academic journey.

It’s critical to note that the COA, often referred to as the “budget,” serves as an estimate of the total expenses students may face while attending university; however, it is not the final cost.

Personal expenses vary per student.
