The total cost of attendance budget is the maximum amount of resources (i.e.-scholarships, loans, grants, etc.) that a student may receive.  If a student receives a late award (loan, scholarship, grant, etc.) the financial aid package is recalculated.  If possible, second disbursements are lowered, if not the late award is sent to the lender to reduce the amount of loans.
             
For new students, relocation to Des Moines is an expense incurred prior to the program and cannot be included in this budget.  You should budget $1250 for a single student to $1800 or more for a family.
             
Keep in mind that according to Federal regulations, the budget is constructed for a single student only.
             

Day care for dependent children can be claimed as an expense for each child (see Daycare Expense Form).  Spouse must be employed or in school full time.  Budget increase for additional loan funds are subject to bank approval.  Request a Dependent Day Care Expense form from the Financial Aid Office.
