Cost of attendance is a term used in educational finance in the United States, and refers to the estimated full and reasonable cost of completing a full year as a full-time student. The cost of attendance is published by each educational institution and typically includes:
- Tuition and fees payable to the educational institution
- Books and supplies
- Room and board
- Personal costs, transportation, etc.
The published cost of attendance establishes the limits for qualified financial aid and student loans available to the student.
