Whats the difference between the financial aid budget and my spending plan?
The financial aid budget (also known as the Cost of Attendance) is an itemized list of the amount of money required to complete the academic year at a particular school. Your spending plan will show a monthly breakdown of the cost of attendance expenses along with other expenses that may not be included in the Cost of Attendance but are expenses you incur. Examples of these types of items would be eating out, CDs, etc.
