Cost of Attendance

Financial Need site The Office of Student Financial Assistance determines your financial aid eligibility by subtracting your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from your Cost of Attendance (COA). The information you report on your FAFSA is used in a formula established by the U.S. Congress, which determines your EFC. The COA that your financial aid package is based upon reflects standard and reasonable costs.

Below are estimated 2023-24 academic year COA attendance budgets for students by the academic program. For actual tuition, fee, residence halls, and meal plan charges, please visit the Bursar website at www.marshall.edu/bursar.
