Cost of Attendance Budgets

Eligibility to receive financial aid is based on Cost of Attendance Budgets that include estimated direct expenses such as tuition, fees, room and board, and allowances for indirect expenses including books, personal and transportation expenses.

These budgets were originally established based on estimated 2012-13 tuition and fees. On May 30, 2012, the Board of Regents officially approved tuiton and fee rates that matched these previous estimates.

The "MD Resident" and "Out-of-State" budgets include Room/Board allowances for students living on-campus or off-campus. These allowances are based on the estimated costs for a standard on-campus multiple-occupancy room and the 14 meals per week meal plan. Exact costs will vary based on each student's meal plan and housing selections.

For more information on how these budgets are used to calculate your financial need, see:
