FINANCIAL NEED

COST OF ATTENDANCE FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY FINANCIAL NEED

Financial need is the difference between the estimated cost of attendance for a school year and the estimated family responsibility (student aid index). Because several factors in the evaluation are subject to change from one year to the next, this evaluation is made annually for each student who applies for financial aid.
