COST OF ATTENDANCE AND NET PRICE CALCULATOR
At Allen University, understanding the financial aspects of your education is crucial for planning your academic journey. To help clarify, expenses are categorized into two main types: Direct Costs and Indirect Costs.
Direct Costs: These are standardized fees paid directly to Allen University. They remain consistent for every full-time student, including tuition, fees, room, and board.
Indirect Costs: Unlike direct costs, these expenses aren't paid to the university. They vary from student to student and can include books, transportation, and personal expenses. Factors like your chosen major, standard of living, and geographical distance between your home and the campus influence these costs. Upon arrival, most students should be prepared to cover indirect costs, like textbooks and supplies.
To gauge your overall financial commitment, you'll want to determine your Net Cost of Attendance. This is calculated by subtracting the total package of financial assistance you've been offered from the combined total of direct and indirect costs. The resulting amount gives you an approximate figure of what your family can expect to contribute toward your educational expenses. When assessing your financial need, direct and indirect costs are combined to form your total Cost of Attendance (COA). For the academic year 2022-2023, the typical direct costs for a full-time student covering tuition, fees, room, and board are outlined below.
By breaking down costs into these categories, we aim to provide a clearer picture of the financial landscape you'll navigate as a student at Allen University. This enables you and your family to plan more effectively for your educational journey.
