We calculate aid eligibility based on the estimated annual Cost of Attendance Budgets listed below. (For more eligibility information, see How Awards Are Determined.)
These fall-spring budgets include estimated direct costs for TU charges such as tuition and on-campus room/board, and allowances for other indirect costs such as off-campus room/board, transportation, personal expenses and books/supplies. Your actual costs may vary.
Both on-campus and off-campus room/board allowances are based on the estimated costs for a multiple-occupancy room in our standard housing options (Glen Complex, Richmond, Newell, Prettyman, Scarborough, and Residence Tower). The board costs are based on our 14 meals/week plan. Use the "Living with Parents" room/board allowances if you will be commuting from parent housing.
The tables below list our estimated cost and expenses based on our approved 2018-2019 rates. These rates remain subject to change as deemed necessary by TU and the University System of Maryland Board of Regents.
For more detailed information, see tuition and fees or housing and meal plan rates.
