Cost of Attendance 2008-2009

Estimated student budgets for 2008-2009 have been developed as guides to help students anticipate their costs at TTU. We recognize that spending habits vary from student to student. Some students may get by on less money, while others may feel that they need more, depending on individual lifestyles and circumstances. A student's eligibility for financial aid, however, will be based not on individual preferences and spending habits, but on these standard budget allowances.

The standard budgets do not include consumer debts such as car payments, bank loans, or credit card bills. Students should take all steps possible to eliminate or otherwise account for all previous debt obligations and avoid additional obligations during enrollment. These budgets are estimates for the regular nine-month academic year only.

Summer school budgets are different due to the shorter calendar, and require a separate application for assistance. If you are interested in aid for either or both of the summer sessions, please stop by our office in Room 214 of the University Center and ask our receptionist for a direct loan application for summer.

Additional Costs: Some additional allowances can be made for expenses related to disabilities and child care. To receive consideration, submit written documentation to our Financial Aid Office to support your request.
