<p>My Aid report gives these four numbers:</p>
<p>Current Cost of Attendance Estimate
Aid Amount<br>
Amount Paid to Date<br>
Amount Scheduled for Payment</p>
<p>But Aid Amount + Amount Scheduled for Payment does not equal Current Cost of Attendance Estimate! The Estimate is about $14000 higher. Why is that? Shouldn't they be equal?</p>
<p>You are expected to pay the difference.</p>
<p>Either your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) was 14,000. Or it was lower and your full need has not been met.</p>
<p>Oh maybe I am misunderstanding your post. I would expect the aid plus amount scheduled for payment to = COA. Is it perhaps the amount due to be paid just for the first semester? Or do they expect you to pay over a certain schedule?</p>
