Cost of Attendance

Financial Aid Cost of Attendance Budgets

The budgets below represent the average cost of attendance incurred by full-time in-district Jefferson College students and are used to determine eligibility for need-based financial aid.  Additionally, a student is not allowed to receive a total amount of financial aid (including scholarships, grants, student loans, and Federal Work-Study) that exceeds their cost of attendance budget.  

The following are not all direct costs charged to Jefferson College students.  Cost of attendance budgets are meant to help families reasonably plan for college expenses, including living allowances while completing an education.  When less than full-time, budgets are reduced to reflect a lower cost of attendance due to the student's enrollment status.  Additionally, students enrolled in all short session courses (only 1st 8 week or only 2nd 8 week classes) will have reduced budget components.  Furthermore, out-of-district and out-of-state students and some special program students (Level I Nursing and Law Enforcement Academy) have larger cost of attendance budgets.
