| Living Costs (housing, food, utilities) | $15,600 |
| Transportation/Travel Costs | $3,200 |
| Personal/Miscellaneous Costs | $2,800 |
The living expense allowances are based on the following amounts per month, for the months enrolled:
- Living Expenses $1,950/month (housing, food, utilities)
- Transportation $400/month
- Personal/Misc. $350/month
Books, Supplies, Course Materials, and Equipment
These costs will vary depending on the specific courses you are taking. A standard amount of $500 is budgeted per academic year. Your actual expenses may vary.
