This may sound insignificant, but I am completely self-financing my education, so it matters!
When I estimate my cost using myintuition or npc (I know it’s only an estimate!), or when I’ll ultimately receive my financial aid package, is insurance included and calculated for?
Or is insurance an additional expense? (After loans and work study and student contribution…?)
Are you asking about the cost of health insurance, either paid for on your own or through a college sponsored plan?
It matters which school you attend. I think California public schools include an amount for insurance.
You also may be eligible for medicaid if your state had medicaid expansion and you are a resident of the state where you attend college.
I’m referring to private schools that aren’t in my state (schools that’s meet full need.)
You need to contact the colleges and see if the health insurance is included in their cost of attendance.
