What You Need to Know about Your Financial Aid Budget
Your financial aid budget is a total of direct and indirect costs at Vermont State University, based on residency and housing. It is not tailored to individual living expenses or choices. You can receive financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships, work study, etc.) up to the full cost of attendance.
Other allowances that can be added to the Cost of Attendance include: course fees related to specific courses, student health insurance, computer allowance, cost of obtaining licensure, study abroad expenses, dependent care expenses, disability related expenses, cooperative education cost. Allowances may be pro-rated based on enrollment.
The Average Direct Loan Fee is a fee charged on all Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans by the Federal government as a percentage of the loan amount proportionately deducted from each loan disbursement.
A Supplemental Budget form is available to students to indicate the need for additional allowances. In most cases a student will need to use private loan funds to meet indirect costs.
