o Private and state grants<br />
o Tribal aid<br />
o Other financial assistance paid directly to the <strong>University</strong><br />
Note: Adjustments to tuition due, early payment discounts and cash payments made by the<br />
student will not count as other resources.<br />
A student must have financial need to receive all federal financial aid funds except for Direct<br />
Unsubsidized and PLUS loans under the Direct Loans program. As such, a student’s expected<br />
family contribution and other resources will be subtracted from the cost <strong>of</strong> attendance when<br />
determining eligibility for federal financial aid (Title IV) All awards, including need and nonneed-based<br />
aid, cannot exceed a student’s annual cost <strong>of</strong> attendance.<br />
If the <strong>University</strong> receives additional other resources that cause the student to exceed the cost <strong>of</strong><br />
attendance, it will adjust the awards appropriately to eliminate the over award. This may include<br />
reducing future disbursements for a second or subsequent payment period or returning awards to<br />
the funding source. Funds will be returned in the order most beneficial to the student.<br />
Cost <strong>of</strong> Attendance Policy<br />
A student’s cost <strong>of</strong> attendance (COA) is established solely for use in calculating federal financial<br />
aid eligibility and awarding financial aid, for a specific period <strong>of</strong> enrollment. SCU reviews and,<br />
if necessary, updates each component annually, referencing the College Board website at http://<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.collegeboard.com/higher-ed, and actual institutional data. The <strong>University</strong> uses<br />
estimated monthly living expenses, and an average cost <strong>of</strong> tuition, textbooks. Financial aid<br />
packages are developed based on the full cost <strong>of</strong> attendance.<br />
To help you and your family in your financial planning, estimated <strong>University</strong> charges for tuition,<br />
fees, room and board are listed below. We have also projected a full “Cost <strong>of</strong><br />
Attendance,”including an average <strong>of</strong> the additional expenses SCU students might incur during<br />
the eight-month academic year or 12 month calendar year. These include items such as books,<br />
transportation, and other miscellaneous expenses. Financial aid packages are developed based on<br />
the full cost <strong>of</strong> attendance. Go to the website provided to view the estimated costs for full and<br />
part time students at SCU based on the 2014-2015 academic year, estimated costs for full time<br />
students at SCU. http://www.scuhs.edu/financialaid/Student_Budget/<br />
