2009-10 Standard Living Budgets

Estimating expenses and formulating realistic budgets are important tasks. A careful assessment of total resources measured against total costs is the cornerstone of sound financial planning. The following budgets are based on a moderate cost of living in the Cambridge area. Although actual living expenses will depend on individual lifestyles, these standardized budgets will be used in determining aid eligibility.

The cost of tuition and fees is added to the standard living expense budget to determine a student's total cost of education. In addition, allowances are made for dependent children. Please note that eligibility for federal funds requires that a single student budget be used, as federal funds are generally reserved for expenses the individual student incurs for his or her educational program. These funds are not intended to supplement the expenses of the other family members. For more detailed information on this calculation, refer to the section on federal programs.
