Cost of Attendance

COA (Cost of Attendance)

Colleges and universities are required by law to establish a Cost of Attendance (COA) which identifies the costs associated with a student attending a college or university. COA includes both direct charges (such as tuition and fees) as well as indirect costs (such as housing, food, and transportation). The total financial aid a student can receive for a given award year is then based on COA, your results from the FAFSA, and the assumption of full-time enrollment (it will be adjusted for less-than-full-time enrollment or for single-term enrollment).

Notes:

• COA is based on a student’s dependency status (dependent or independent)
• COA and aid offer may be adjusted based on semesters and credit hours of enrollment
• COA increases if a student enrolls for three semesters to include Summer
• If you have additional expenses which exceed the standard cost of attendance, you may request to have your Cost of Attendance (COA) reviewed. These additional expenses may include, but are not limited to dependent care, disability related expenses, study abroad expenses, approved licensure fees, and cooperative education costs. For more information about COA and additional expenses, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Net Price Calculator

The Net Price Calculator is a tool for students to use to get an estimate of what it may cost to attend Marion Technical College each year. It is important to understand that the information you receive from the calculator is a broad estimate.  It includes cost estimates of not only tuition and fees but also books, room and board (rent or housing), and others (including transportation, personal and miscellaneous).  It includes estimates of grants and scholarships based on aid students in similar situations received in a prior year.  Many factors come into play when determining a student’s actual costs and awards.

It is also important to note that the Net Price Calculator does not incorporate Federal Direct Student Loans into its financial aid calculations.  Students may be eligible for Federal Direct Student Loans. The loan amounts students are offered vary based on dependency status and grade level in school.
