<p>Say that I got accepted to SCU (Leavey, Accounting) as a transfer student from a California Community College and will need 2 more years of school to get my degree. In general, what percentage of the SCUs (or any other private universities) tuition do students actually pay? How much scholarships/grants/"free money" did you get? Loans? Etc. Currently, the SCU tuition is $40,572 per year. I am asking for financial planning purposes. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>(I would email/call SCU but it's the weekend)</p>
<p>A little info about me:
US Citizen
California resident
Married w/ no kids
Will be going to school full time if accepted at SCU</p>
<p>I’ve just transferred to SCU’s Leavey for accounting as well. What I can tell you right now is that it really depends on how much you make/what your situation is among some other factors. I didn’t sign up for any scholarships, but I got a grant for $15,000/yr at Santa Clara. I also got maxed out on the federal student loans (both subsidized and unsubsidized combined, $5,500/yr).</p>
<p>Some things about me: I live with my parents (and I am under 24 years of age) and household income is around 70-90k. Also a full-time student.</p>
<p>Santa Clara is a very good school but, as a CA resident - SCU at full price is tough to rationalize. Particularly if you have to borrow money to make it work. There are so many top notch publics available to qualified students at a fraction of the price. </p>
