Guide to Requesting Loans and/or Federal Work-Study

Determine Your Overall Cost

Prior to completing your loan applications, review the Cost of Attendance page to determine your overall cost. You may also find helpful our MA Billing Calculator, which allows you to better determine your directly billed expenses for the Fall and Spring semesters. Note that you may only borrow up to your total cost of attendance (which includes tuition, fees, living expenses, including allowances for books, supplies, transportation, loan fees, and other expenses).
