computer allowance?

<p>it says on my financial award letter that the computer allowance is 2500 dollars, but what is that? I've never seen that on another school. and also does anyone know why i didn't get offered the work study program and my EFC was 0?</p>

<p>They add the cost of a computer to the estimated cost of attendance so that you can get aid including that amount.</p>

<p>oh thanks! so you don’t really need to count that if you already have one? or do you have to have a specific one?</p>

<p>Engineers have to have a tablet. Otherwise the requirements aren’t that high.</p>
