Cost of Attendance and Financial Aid

The Cost of Attendance is the combination of a student’s Direct Costs (tuition and university fees) and Indirect Costs incurred while attending UMKC as an individual student. It is the estimate or “budget” that UMKC gives a student to budget with each semester.

The Cost of Attendance budget categories are divided into: Room and Board, Transportation, Equipment, Books, Personal Expenses, Loan Fees, and Tuition. The Cost of Attendance is the same for all students in a particular program, varying only by residency status (in-state or out-of-state) and whether you live on-campus, off-campus (as an individual), or off-campus as a dependent (e.g. at home with parents).

The Cost of Attendance is also the ceiling at which a student will be offered aid. All loans, scholarships, grants, etc., must fit under this Cost of Attendance ceiling amount.

The UMKC Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships can provide additional information regarding financial aid programs, including federal and state grant and loan programs, as well as the types of expenses and assistance that might be available to you.

In general, students interested in merit or need-based financial aid may be eligible for various loans, grants and/or other financial aid programs. To be considered for such programs, a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available through the UMKC Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships or online at the Federal Student Aid Website. The priority date for filing the FAFSA is February 1.
