  • Total cost of attendance, including how to give the most accurate estimate of all associated costs beyond tuition.
  • Net costs after financial aid, including how to visualize the calculations that lead to a family’s final responsibility.
  • Additional resources and information, including both internal and external links providing supplemental opportunities for assistance.
