The financial aid budget
Each year, the Office of Financial Aid determines a budget that projects average costs for tuition, fees, room and board, books and other expenses.
Several budgets are constructed to represent differences in student residency, academic level and program. Most budgets assume full-time attendance at the student's level. For more information, see How Enrollment Level Affects Financial Aid.
Budget vs. Cost
While the budget is based on average expenses and can guide you in planning your year at MSU, you can obtain a closer estimate by calculating your own tuition and fees and other MSU charges using the cost calculator provided by the Controller's Office, as well as by estimating any additional money needed for books and personal expenses.
