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 Christina might cover her net costs. |

Christina Student part-time work during academic year: Student educational loans: Savings from summer jobs: *See below for ways that Christina can cover the remaining $6,620 of the cost of attendance. Christina will probably need to work during the award year, cut expenses further, or take out student loans. She also may be offered a work-study award that could help her find an on-campus job if she doesn't keep her regular job. Christina can reduce the amount she needs to work and/or borrow if she receives scholarship aid. (Note: Many, but not all, community colleges participate in the federal loan programs.) |
