Financial Aid Office uses standardized student expense budgets when calculating
need. Budgets are reviewed and updated annually, and include tuition, fees,
books, room and board, transportation, and personal expenses. The College may
adjust a student's budget for unusual individual circumstances. The
following table shows the student expense budgets used by the Financial Aid
Office during the
2004-2005 academic year. Costs for the 2005-2006 academic year may be different;
tuition and fees are subject to approval and change by the Massachusetts
Legislature, the Massachusetts Higher Education Coordinating Council, and/or the
Worcester State College Board of Trustees. 2004 - 05 IN STATE EXPENSE BUDGETS

Graduate and Summer Charges Evening undergraduate, graduate and summer courses are charged at a different rate from standard day courses. Click the following link to go to the Continuing Education Office's website and find the upcoming semester's courses and charges:
Undergraduate
degree seeking students enrolled in nine (9) or more credits per semester, and
graduate degree seeking students enrolled in seven (7) or more credits per
semester are required, by State regulation, to carry individual health
insurance. Students will be enrolled in the College sponsored plan, and
billed accordingly. For the 2005-2006 the change is $1,229. Students who have appropriate alternative coverage must complete a waiver form
at the time of payment to waive the mandatory insurance premium. Any
student not completing a waiver will be billed for insurance. The insurance
coverage is not adjustable and is non-refundable after the add-drop period.
The
amount a family is expected to contribute to college costs is calculated by
using financial information provided on the FAFSA. That estimate may be adjusted
by the Financial Aid Office based upon verified data and/or individual
circumstances. Components of this calculation include: *
family income *
family assets *
number of family members *
number of family members attending college at least half-time (excluding
parents) *
unusual family expenses Need
for financial aid is determined by subtracting the expected family contribution
from the cost of attendance. The Financial Aid Office attempts to meet financial
need by offering students a financial aid package of different types of
financial aid. The
College Policy on outside resources is all funds from private scholarships that
are not listed on your award letter will be considered a resource to meet any
unmet need you may have before reducing any of your financial aid. We will
reduce loans first, then work-study before reducing any grant or scholarship aid
that we awarded you. Students must notify the Financial Aid Office as well
as the Bursar's Office in writing of any assistance received from a source other
than Worcester State College .
