After paying tuition and buying books the remaining funds are available for living expenses including rent, food, utilities, transportation, etc. Financial aid budgets do not include summers. Funds are dispersed in two equal installments with half of the overage being available in August and the other half available in January. Students should develop a budget that allows them to live on available resources.
