Cost of Attendance & Education

Each year, colleges establish a Cost of Attendance (COA), which takes into account average costs for educational expenses, room and board, books and supplies, enrollment and tuition fees, personal expenses, and educational transportation costs. It does not include maintenance costs for a student’s dependents because a standard allowance for dependents is included in the federal need analysis calculation.

At Crafton Hills College, the Cost of Attendance is used to calculate eligibility for federal and state aid programs. The information reported on your 2024-2025 FAFSA (including income, benefits, and family size) is used to determine your Student AId Index(SAI) using the standard “federal needs analysis” formula. Your SAI is deducted from the COA, resulting in your calculated total remaining need.

Various aid programs are then awarded based on eligibility and availability of funds. The calculation is outlined below.

= Total Remaining Need

The cost of attendance for students enrolled in less than half-time will only include tuition and fees, books and supplies, and educational transportation costs.
