2009-10 Estimated Student Budgets

Each year the CGCC Financial Aid Office establishes standard budgets based on institutional costs and the standard of living.  These budget (or cost of attendance) estimates are used for awarding financial aid funds.

The budgets reflect typical expense patterns for CGCC students.  Some students will spend more than the standard amounts, while others will spend less, depending on individual lifestyles and circumstances.  Eligibility for financial aid, however, is based on the standard budget allowances listed below, not on individual preferences and spending habits.

These figures are based on Fall and Spring semesters and full time enrollment.
