Managing the Net Cost Independent students can manage the Net Cost by using tools provided by the college, including student educational loans and part-time work. The Net Cost is not due all at once. Many costs, such as living expenses, are incurred over time. What follows is a sample of how André might cover his net cost. |

André Student part-time work during academic year: Student educational loans: Savings from summer jobs: *See below for ways that André can cover the remaining $5,119 of the cost of attendance. André will probably need to work during the award year, cut expenses further, or take out student loans. André also may be offered a work-study award that could help him find an on-campus job if he doesn't keep his regular job. André can reduce the amount he needs to work and/or borrow if he receives scholarship aid. (Note: Many, but not all, community colleges participate in the federal loan programs.) |
