Cost of Attendance
Donnelly College’s standard Cost of Attendance (COA) consists of the following categories: Tuition & Fees, Books, Course materials, Supplies and Equipment, Transportation, Living Expenses, Miscellaneous Personal Expenses and Loan Fees.
Initial award offers are based on full-time, fall and spring budgets. The COA and aid offer will be adjusted accordingly if a student’s actual enrollment status differs.
A student’s total amount of Financial Aid is not to exceed the Cost of Attendance.
If the estimated expenses of the COA are not reflective of the student’s actual expenses, the student may request a Cost of Attendance Adjustment by contacting the Director of Financial Aid at financialaid@donnelly.edu. Adjustments may be adjusted on a case-by-case basis upon submission of supporting documentation.
