Definitions:
- Cost of Attendance (COA) - The COA is an estimate of a student’s educational expenses (tuition, room, board/meals, supplies, books, and other expenses) for the year. The COA allows a student to prepare for the cost of attending an institution. The COA is different than what will appear on a billing statement. The billing statement will show only direct charges or the charge that a student is expected to pay each year, which includes tuition, room and board (if the student is living on campus and/or purchases a meal plan), and student activity and technology fees.
- Tuition and Fees - The average cost of tuition and fees for a typical undergraduate student based on enrolling for 30 hours per year (i.e., two semesters at 12-18 hours per semester). The actual costs that a student incurs may vary depending on the student's degree or certificate program.
- Residence Hall Room and Meal Plan - An estimate of the cost of living in a traditional residence hall with a standard meal plan.
- Books - The average cost of books is $500 per semester ($1000 per year). The cost varies based on the type and amount of classes taken during the semester. While books are an expense, they are NOT included on the student's bill.
Lower Your College Costs - Financial Aid at TLU
How Can I Receive Financial Aid from TLU?
Over 95% of our students receive scholarships or need-based financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants, federal work-study, and federal loans. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form at studentaid.gov and enter TLU's code 003641 to send your FAFSA to TLU. When TLU receives your FAFSA information from the U.S. Department of Education, we will provide you with your financial aid offer, which will include all of the institutional, state, and federal aid you qualify to receive.
When Can I Expect a Financial Aid Offer from TLU?
Traditionally, financial aid offers are sent to new students beginning in November prior to the incoming fall semester.
What Should I Do to Ensure I Am Considered for Financial Aid?
TLU encourages all students, returning and incoming, to complete the FAFSA at www.studentaid.gov
for the 2024-2025 academic year. The FAFSA opened in late November 2024.
