Trying to determine what college will actually cost can be a challenge for even the sharpest financial minds. You have to determine tuition, housing, board (meal plans), insurance and fees then deduct whatever financial aid you may qualify for whether provided by the state or federal government, the college you are interested in plus the myriad of organizations that award merit- or need-based scholarships you might qualify for.
These scenarios were created help you understand your financial situation as you consider attending CBU. They take into account the factors a majority of CBU students occupy and also provide payment plan options that divide up your annual college investment into more manageable monthly amounts. These scenarios are provided as estimates only - your particular situation may be different depending on the number of classes you take each semester, whether you live on or off campus, the meal plan you select, whether you opt to pay for CBU health insurance (all students are required to have health insurance but most are covered on their parent's insurance plans and do not need CBU insurance) and a range of other variables.
Note that all figures are provided in their annual amounts and reflect 2009-10 academic year figures.
