Financial aid eligibility is limited by the cost of attendance for the student’s program of study or each academic year of a program longer than one year in length. As required by law, the cost of attendance includes institutional charges, such as tuition and fees, and institutionally determined expense allowances for living costs, transportation, and other allowable expenses.

Living costs are required to be included in the cost of attendance calculations regardless of whether the institution provides housing or if students reside off-campus. These expense allowances do not represent fees assessed to students by the institution. The only fees for which students are liable are the tuition and other fees outlined in your enrollment agreement. These estimated expense allowances are only used for compliance and financial aid eligibility purposes.

The monthly expense allowances outlined below are used by the Warrensburg Area Career Center in the student’s total cost of attendance determination:

Category 1 includes students who have no dependents and who live with a parent.

Category 2 includes all other students.

Additional amounts may be included for dependent care or disability care for students who incur and document such expenses. See a financial aid advisor for assistance.
