Financial Aid & Scholarships

Estimating your Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance that your award is based upon reflects average costs, and educational expenses from tuition to personal spending needs for a student in your category. However, it does not reflect the amount of money you owe the University. Each student will receive a billing that shows their actual University charges. Financial aid applicants are assigned the appropriate student aid budget. The standard budget may be adjusted for cost associated with study resource fees assessed to Pharmacy, Engineering , MBA, OSU-Cascades Campus students, and students participating in approved study abroad programs.

The standard full-time, full year (three quarters) financial aid budget includes:
