Student Budget

The Cost of Attendance or Student Budget is an estimate of your educational expenses for one academic year. The student budget is adjusted annually and is comprised of costs for tuition and fees, books and supplies, and modest living expenses. These figures should serve as a guide to reasonable expenses associated with attending The University of Toledo College of Law.

Note: Your combined financial aid resources cannot exceed the standard student budget.

Allowable Expenses

Although the process of determining a student’s aid eligibility is the same for all students, adjustments to the student budget can be made for some allowable expenses. Students who would like their student budget adjusted should contact the UT Law Financial Aid Office for more information.

Change of Income – You may be considered for an adjustment if you have experienced unemployment, retirement, disability or death of a wage earner, divorce or separation, loss of social security benefits, etc.

Child Care – If you are paying for dependent child care while you are enrolled in classes, you may receive a budget adjustment. You must submit a signed statement from your child care provider verifying the monthly amount you pay for childcare expenses.

Computer Purchase – A student’s budget can be increased to allow for the purchase of a laptop computer. You must provide a copy of the receipt and a signed statement of intent to the UT Law Financial Aid Office. The increase will allow for the purchase price of the computer and does not allow for additional software purchase, printer, warranty, shipping, etc. A computer purchase can increase your student budget once per law career.

Non-Allowable Expenses (include but not limited to) – parking tickets, consumer debt, membership fees, gifts, vacations
