- أغجاض±²¥ Health Plan (only if covered by university health plan)
Amounts paid by the student:
- Off-campus housing and food
- Books & supplies (if not charged to bill)

How is Financial Aid Eligibility Determined?
There are two major factors that determine your financial aid eligibility.
We carefully estimate what a student will pay to go to college for one year including both costs billed by أغجاض±²¥ and estimated personal expenses. View COA estimate examples.
Cost of attendance (COA) at أغجاض±²¥ Boulder includes tuition & fees, campus housing, and أغجاض±²¥ health insurance all billed by the university. Additionally, the cost of books, supplies, transportation, and other personal expenses that are not billed by the university are budgeted for when you are considered for financial aid.
If you received financial aid to cover the student-paid expenses, you will receive a refund check from the Bursar's Office after your aid has been applied to your bill.
SAI is a formula used to calculate a family's ability to pay for college.
- It is determined by the and verification process.
- It is not the amount of money your family will need to pay for college, nor is it the amount of federal student aid you will receive.

How much aid will I receive?
We know "it depends" isn't the most helpful answer, but financial aid really is tailored to your situation. Here's some more information to put this in context:
- We spread out our grant money to help many students; therefore, grant funding will never pay the full cost of an academic year by itself.
- Almost half of the funds we distribute to students are in the form of grants and scholarships (free aid that doesn't need to be repaid). The other half is work-study, student loans and parent loans.
- Loans offered by our office are financial aid! The loans we offer have low interest rates, grace periods and the possibility for deferment.
- In previous years, أغجاض±²¥ residents with an 18,000 Student Aid Index (SAI) or less were more likely to be considered for grants than a family with a higher SAI.
The amount of aid you receive cannot exceed the cost to attend.
