Applying for and Receiving Financial Aid
Budget Planning Guide
Step 1: Determine your budget
If you are an undergraduate student and you live at home with your parents, yours is the "at home" budget; otherwise, your budget is the "on/off-campus" budget. All budgets shown here are based on three-quarter attendance. If you will attend fewer quarters, use one-third of each amount per quarter of attendance to calculate your budget.*2010-11 Budget: U.S. Citizens

If you are a graduate student your budget is the "on/off-campus" budget. All budgets shown here are based on three-quarter attendance. If you will attend fewer quarters, use one-third of each amount per quarter of attendance to calculate your budget.*

This remaining need could be covered through family contributions, savings, or PLUS or alternative loans outlined in this guide.
The books/supplies, personal/misc. and transportation budget components are not paid directly to SCAD; they are components that federal regulations require be included in determining student eligibility to receive loans, grants, scholarships, etc. Tuition is a direct cost for all students. Room/board fees are direct costs for students living in residence halls. Many students who need to borrow additional funds to cover educational expenses choose not to borrow funds for the indirect budget components, but all students should plan for these expenses.
