Cost of attendance.
The estimated cost of attendance (COA) represents those expenses an average student might incur for their education and living expenses during a school year.
The estimated cost of attendance that we have developed is important because it represents the maximum amount a student can receive in financial aid.
As you review the cost of attendance, we STRONGLY encourage students to determine their own cost of attendance when determining the amount of loan funding they might need to apply for. Students can apply for additional loan funding throughout the school year so being as conservative as possible and NOT borrowing the maximum loan funding available is the best approach to funding your education.
UTHSC utilizes the College Board’s moderate living expense allowance in helping to determine the amount of living expense funding to provide to students.
We encourage all students not to borrow loan funding up to their estimated cost of attendance. Instead we encourage students to create their own budget to help them determine their living expenses and if necessary the amount in loan funding needed to meet those expenses.
