Cost of Attendance
A student's Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimated amount that it will cost to attend UAMS. The COA is determined using rules established by federal regulations. This number is used by the school to determine the maximum amount of financial aid a student can receive for the current academic award year. Please contact our office if you have any special circumstances that you believe would warrant an increase in your COA; but remember student financial aid is designed to meet the most basic educational needs of students. Our office will approve requests on a case by case basis. Receipts will be required. Some expenses cannot be covered with educational aid, so you will need to have an alternative source of funds (savings, family support or spousal income) to pay for these costs. The following is a list of expenses that can be used in increasing your COA.
Child Care Expenses: You may request that reasonable child care costs be included in your budget.
Computer Purchase: See the computer budget form under "Helpful Links."
The COA does not represent actual charges on a student's account. To obtain actual charges, please contact the Registrar's Office for your program of study.
