Cost of Attendance

What you need to know about your Financial Aid Budget

Your financial aid budget is a total of direct and indirect costs at Vermont State University, based on residency and housing. It is not tailored to individual living expenses or choices. You can receive financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships, work study, etc.) up to the full cost of attendance.

What does Cost of Attendance really mean?

Cost of attendance (COA) is the total cost for you to attend Vermont State University each year, before financial aid. COA includes the following billable costs:  general tuition, program tuition and fees, housing and a food plan. It also includes the following indirect costs: books and supplies, personal and travel. The Books & Supplies and Personal/Miscellaneous amounts in the table are estimates used in determining financial aid eligibility. Your actual expenses will vary.

Indirect Costs On-Campus Off-Campus Off-Campus (with Parents)
Estimated Housing $7,830 $9,328 $3,620
Estimated Food $5,068 $3,998 $3,620
Estimated Books and Supplies $1,000 - $1,500
Estimated Personal $1,800
Estimated Transportation $2,074 $2,766 $2,766
Average Direct Loan Fees $50
Health Insurance
Health Insurance is required for full-time matriculated students and is billed in the fall and covers the full academic year. If you already have health insurance coverage, this charge can be waived by completing and submitting the online insurance selection form by the due date.
$2,013*

*Health insurance for spring 2024 semester only: $1,248

Other allowances that can be added to the Cost of Attendance include course fees related to specific courses, student health insurance, computer allowance, cost of obtaining licensure, study abroad expenses, dependent care expenses, disability related expenses, cooperative education cost. Allowances may be pro-rated based on enrollment.

The Average Direct Loan Fee is a fee charged on all Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans by the Federal government as a percentage of the loan amount proportionately deducted from each loan disbursement.

A Supplemental Budget form is available to students to indicate the need for additional allowances. In most cases a student will need to use private loan funds to meet indirect costs.
