Scholarships & the real cost

A partial scholarship can be part of a good offer. Compare the full annual cost and confirmed aid, rather than the scholarship percentage alone.

Build an illustrative aid package

The starting figures are invented examples, not typical prices or an estimate of your award. All amounts are in US dollars per year.

Athletic aid is commonly divided into partial awards. Academic aid may also be available, subject to the institution’s rules.

Include tuition, mandatory fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books and personal expenses in your total. Check travel and visa costs separately. Actual awards may cover specific expenses rather than a percentage of total cost.

Aid cannot always be stacked as shown. The college must confirm the combined package and any funding limits. This is not a scholarship quote.

Before accepting an offer

  • What expenses does the award actually cover?
  • Is it renewable, and on what conditions?
  • What happens after an injury or roster change?
  • Can academic and athletic aid be combined?
  • Are international students eligible for other aid?
  • What is the remaining cost in writing?

Some institutional calculators assume US financial-aid eligibility. International students should confirm costs directly with the college.
