Your Charges Versus the Cost of Attendance
Many families mistakenly believe the Cost of Attendance (COA) is the exact amount required to attend Millersville or other colleges—sometimes leading to unnecessary borrowing.
Let’s clarify: the COA is NOT what you will owe! It includes both direct and indirect costs.
- Direct Costs: What you’ll pay directly to Millersville, like tuition, fees, and on-campus housing.
- Indirect Costs: Other expenses you might have, such as books, supplies, and transportation.
The COA is a budget to help you plan for all potential expenses. It’s also used to determine the maximum financial aid you can receive for the year.
Each COA is different depending on your your program, degree type, residency, housing plans, and more.
- Prospective Students: Refer to the federal College Financing Plan on your financial aid offer.
- Millersville Students: Access your estimated COA on the Offer tab of your Financial Aid Overview -- located in your MAX account.
