At the time that you enroll at Southwestern, your student account which is located with the Business Office will be charged with the actual costs of attendance. These direct educational costs may include: tuition, fees, books, supplies and room and board (if you live on campus). To view a current schedule of tuition and fees, please click here.

When awarding aid, the Financial Aid Office will develop a cost of attendance that is an estimate of your educational expenses for your expected period of enrollment. This cost of attendance can include direct educational costs as well as indirect costs such as transportation, room and board (off-campus), personal expenses and child care (if applicable). The Financial Aid Office will award all federal, state and institutional aid that you are eligible to receive up to this cost of attendance. Depending on your eligibility, the amount of aid awarded may exceed the actual charges on your student account, or it may not cover your entire account balance for which you are responsible. All financial aid credits directly to your student account. If you receive an award package that will not cover your actual costs of attendance and require further assistance, please contact the Financial Aid Office.
