SETON HALL
Total Expenses: $54,894
Total amount of grant money (with estimated NJ TAG Grant): $42,358
- $12,536 is the money that would have to come out of my/my parents pocket(s)
Without the NJ TAG Grant: $29,920 - $24,974 out of pocket money
If you add in loans, the total amount of financial aid (with TAG) I received is: $47,858 - $7,036 out of pocket money
Without TAG: $35,420 - $19,474 out of pocket money
The loans add up to $5,500 per year
Is the NJ TAG Grant estimate accurate? How is it determined if I will certainly receive it?
OLD DOMINION
Total Expenses: $43,744
Total amount of grant money: $16,420
- $27,324 out of pocket
If you add in loans: $21,920 - $21,824 out of pocket
The loans add up to $5,500 per year
GI BILL
I am able to receive GI BILL money (my mother is in the military), but since I have to split it with my siblings, I can only receive 9 MONTHS without taking away from them.
Since the GI Bill goes by time, I will have to be able to split 9 months over a total of four years (without taking from my siblings).
A full term semester (12-18 credits) at Seton costs $18,500
A credit at ODU (out of state) costs $891
- Does this mean that each class costs about $2,673 (3 credits per class)?
- $13,365 per semester (if I take 5 classes - 15 credits)
Can someone please explain to me how much the GI Bill would be able to cover me for? Which school (combined with the GI Bill) would I have a better deal at? Will the GI Bill be able to cover my out of pocket expenses for Seton and/or ODU?
