Budget Adjustments
The estimated price of attendance (budget) includes average amounts for standard educational expenses incurred by all students. This includes tuition, room/board, books & supplies, local transportation and miscellaneous expenses.
To request a budget increase for one of the following reason. Please contact our office in writing.
- Additional course-related expenses
- Child care expenses
- Disability-related expenses during the academic year
- Mandatory SCU Student Health Insurance
If a budget increase is approved it is unlikely that it will be covered with additional grant funding. You will need to apply for the appropriate loan program — typically Federal Direct PLUS Loans, Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans or student private financing — depending on your circumstances.
NOTE: All cost of attendance (budget) adjustments are at the discretion of professional judgement conducted by the Santa Clara University Financial Aid Office.
