Cost of Attendance

The first component in determining your financial aid award is your cost of attendance. Each year, OAFA carefully prepares the COA for each class year. Certain budget items, such as tuition and University fees, are standard for all classes, while other expenses, such as national board exam fees, are class year-specific. Federal regulations specifically prohibit certain expenses from being included in student budgets, including car payments and expenses related to residency interviews.
