<p>Applicantnot,</p>
<p>You must back out books, and personal expenses out of your cost of attendance. Yes, they may be “covered” by financial aid, however they are non-billable and there is an expectation that your student contribution/work-study monies will cover these expenses.</p>
<p>Your student contribution comes from you working a summer job and bringing the money with you to college. The work study money will come to you in the form of a check (or direct deposit) every 2 weeks based on the number of hours you have worked.</p>
<p>If you choose not to work summers(for your summer contribution) or your work study job, the school is not going “give” you more $$ (they will give you a loan, which must be repaid)</p>
