The U.S. Department of Education allows financial aid offices to establish standard
student budgets each year as a basis for awarding financial aid. A standard student
budget is known as the Cost of Attendance (COA) which includes costs for 9 months.
If you attend Paine College for only one semester, or if you attend summer session
in addition to the regular semesters, we prorate your costs.
The basic components of a student’s COA include tuition, fees, books and supplies,
room, board, miscellaneous and transportation expenses. Please note that tuition,
fees, room and board (for on-campus students only) are the only costs which are
billed directly to students. Books and supplies, miscellaneous and
transportation costs will vary for each student and are estimates only and do not
appear on billing statements.
Your total financial aid, including loans and outside scholarships, cannot exceed
your COA.
