Cost of Attendance Process
After your admission to Outer Coast, you will be asked to complete a brief Cost of Attendance form. We do not ask for the FAFSA or any other external financial reporting.
Our team will review your cost of attendance form and calculate an estimated cost of attendance based on your and your family’s financial means.
We will set up a conversation with you and your family to discuss and confirm your cost of attendance, as well as any other financial support you might need, including travel, work-study, or stipends for miscellaneous expenses. Payment plans may be available upon request.
