Budgets and Cost of Attendance

The Financial Aid budgets at Western University of Health Sciences are developed using guidelines set down by the Department of Education and estimated costs associated with each college/university. With the exception of Tuition and Fees, budgets are updated each award year by using the College Board, Consumer Price Index and the Bureau of Labor Statistics that releases data on annual consumer percent changes.

Student budgets at WesternU reflect all Cost of Attendance (COA) components associated with each college.
Budgets are subject to change.
Budgets are updated annually.
Tuition and fees costs are updated annually.
Budgets are reviewed through out the year.
Students are notified of any budgets changes as they may occur.

The budget components (cost of attendance factors) are:

  • Tuition and Fees
  • Books and Supplies
  • Room and Board
  • Transportation
  • Misc. Personal Expenses
  • Other fees as determined by program/college
  • Loan Origination Fees

Budget components are estimated costs and subject to change.

Western University does not participate in consortium agreements.

It is essential that you understand that the budget is for the student and student only.   For those students that are married, it is highly suggested that you review the student budget with your spouse.   Per federal regulations, the Financial Aid Office at Western University of Health Sciences is unable to make budget adjustments for students with dependents. There are no exceptions to this policy.
