How are cost of attendance budgets determined?

The cost of attendance budgets are approved annually by the Case Western Research University School of Medicine for the upcoming academic year. These cost of attendance budgets for each academic year are based in large part on data from a biannual survey of what our current medical students are actually spending for books and supplies, housing, food, personal expenses and transportation. You can utilize the cost of attendance budget to best anticipate your living expenses during the academic year.

The costs reflect living expenses for the academic year only. Living expenses for non-school periods and for spouses and other dependents are not included because they are treated in the need-analysis formula as an allowance against income rather than a direct cost. In the case of a married student, therefore, the spouse’s living costs are not included in the budget, but the expected family contribution is reduced by the amount appropriate to maintain the spouse and home.
