Cost of Attendance – Student Budget
How It Works
The “Cost of Attendance” (COA) provides students with a breakdown of the estimated expenses that they may incur while attending LSU Health New Orleans.
The COA estimates are used to build the Student Budget, which the Department of Education sets as the limit of financial aid a student is allowed to receive each year.

Determining How Much Aid You Actually Need
Start by creating a Personal Budget and listing all of your expenses:
- Contact the Bursar’s Office to see what your actual charges (tuition & fees) will be for each term.
- Factor in all of your recurring expenses: food, transportation, housing, insurance, streaming services, etc.
Accepting too Little or too Much Aid
You can always contact the Office of Student Financial Aid to revise your aid. We can help you:
- Reduce or return any excess funds
- Request additional aid if there is still room within your COA/Student Budget
