(Please don't move this to the Iowa State forum for several reasons)
A low-modest income OOS student (with stats that aren't merit-worthy) contacted me and I saw that he has Iowa State on his list. He seems to think that the school will be generous to him.
The NPC has OLD info....for school year 2014-15...and he'd be applying for 2017-18
I put in that he's the only child going to college from a family of 4 people...income around $35k-40k per year.
The NPC did NOT ask for stats yet it mentions aid that is a combo of fed, state, merit, institutional.....which I think is misleading!!!
The results ...
Academic Year: 2014-15
Estimated tuition and fees $20,617
+ Estimated room and board charges
(Includes rooming accommodations and meals)
$7,830
+ Estimated cost of books and supplies $1,043
+ Estimated other expenses
(Personal expenses, transportation, etc.) $2,430
Estimated total cost of attendance: $31,920
- Estimated total grant aid:
(Includes both merit and need based grant and scholarship aid from Federal, State, or Local Governments, or the Institution)
$15,390
Estimated Net Price After Grants and Scholarships: $16,530
Grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid. Some students also qualify for student loans to assist in paying this net price; however, student loans do have to be repaid.
Does this seem right?
