Scholarships, grants don’t cover some students’ cost of living By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99
Students eating themselves out of house and home becomes more likely every year, with scholarships and grants covering only part of the cost of college. According to data compiled by Colorado State University’s Office of Financial Aid, between
the 2000-2001 academic year and the 2018-2019 academic year, the cost of attendance has more than doubled. After tuition and fees, the largest expense to students and their families is housing. Cost of attendance for this academic year sits near $27,000 and the average amount of grants and scholarships awarded to students, also provided by
Financial Aid, cover just over half for in-state students and less than a third for out-of-state students. “When we say we can cover tuition and fees for someone, that still leaves well over $12,000 for resident students,” said Tom Biedscheid, director of Financial Aid. Across the apartment complexes in Fort Collins who list
their prices online — such as Ramblewood, the Carriage House, the Habitat and Governor’s Park — the average room costs around $830 a month. Actual prices may vary with leasing agreements and fees. The CSU campus apartments located at Aggie Village are competitive with the going rates in the city, ranging between $710-$1,135 a month.
“We do keep tabs on the general housing market of Fort Collins and try to stay competitive and affordable,” said John Malsam, the assistant director of Housing and Dining Services. Malsam said, while the prices look similar at first glance, Aggie Village is a newer facility with more amenities that other local apartment complexes may see RENT on page 4 >>
