预算评估
Most types of financial aid may not exceed the institution's established cost of attendance. However, students may have educational expenses that exceed the allowable threshold. On a case by case base, ISU can review the student's educational costs to determine whether their cost of attendance budget is accurate. A few of the categories in which increases may be granted are as follows:
- Books and Supplies
- Purchase of Computer or Laptop
- Dependent Care/Childcare expenses
- Miscellaneous Educational expenses
To apply for a budget adjustment, complete the 预算评估 Form.
