GLOSSARY
Cost of Attendance (COA): The total amount (not including grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study) that it
will cost you to go to school during the 2023-24 school year. COA includes tuition and fees; housing and meals;
and allowances for books, supplies, transportation, miscellaneous and personal expenses, and loan fees. It can
also include dependent care, an allowance for the rental or purchase of a personal computer; costs related to a
disability; and reasonable costs for eligible study-abroad programs. For students attending less than half-time,
the COA includes tuition and fees; an allowance for books, supplies, and transportation; and dependent care
expenses.
Grants and Scholarships: Student aid funds that do not have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based, while
scholarships are usually merit-based. Occasionally you might have to pay back part or all of a grant if, for
example, you withdraw from school before finishing a semester.
Net Price: An estimate of the actual cost that you or your family will need to pay during the 2023-24 school year
to cover education expenses at a particular school. Net price is determined by taking the institution's cost of
attendance and subtracting your grants and scholarships.
Work-Study: A federal student aid program that provides part-time employment while you are enrolled in school
to help pay your educational expenses.
Loans: Borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. Loans from the federal government typically have a
lower interest rate than loans from private lenders. Federal loans, listed from most advantageous to least
advantageous, are Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct PLUS Loans. You can find
more information about federal loans at StudentAid.gov.
Federal Direct Subsidized Loans: Loans made to eligible undergraduate students who demonstrate financial
need to help cover the costs of higher education at a college or career school.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans: Loans made to eligible undergraduate, graduate, and professional
students, but in this case, the student does not have to demonstrate financial need to be eligible for the loan.
Federal Direct PLUS Loans: Loans made to graduate or professional students and parents of dependent
undergraduate students to help pay for education expenses not covered by other financial aid.
Expected Family Contribution (also referred to as EFC or Family Contribution): A number used by a
school to calculate how much need-based financial aid you are eligible to receive based on the financial
information you provided on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The EFC is not the amount
of money your family will have to pay for college, nor is it the amount of federal student aid you will receive. The
family contribution is reported to you on your Student Aid Report, also known as the SAR. The SAR is a paper or
electronic document that provides basic information about your eligibility for federal student aid and lists your
responses to the questions on the FAFSA.
