What does it mean to meet 100% of calculated need?
- We start with the cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, food, and housing.
- Then we calculate how much your family can pay – based on what you report in the FAFSA and CSS Profile forms.
- By subtracting your calculated family contribution from the total cost of attendance, we determine your financial need.
- We provide you with a financial aid package that meets 100% of your calculated financial need through a combination of scholarships, grants, work study, and loans.
We suggest that you use our Net Price Calculator for an estimate customized to your individual family circumstances.
