Loans and loan information
Cost of attendance
Each year, the Cornell University Financial Aid Office prepares a nine-month student expense budget defining standard allowances for education costs for graduate and professional students. Tuition and other budget figures for the 2009–10 academic year are listed below.
Please note that many research-based Ph.D. programs do not accept self-paying students, but instead provide fellowships for funded study. Be sure to check with the Field of Study to which you're applying.
| Contract* | Endowed** |
|---|
| Tuition and fees* | $24,700 | $37,750 |
| Room and Board | 13,860 | 13,860 |
| Books and Supplies | 1,200 | 1,200 |
| Personal Expenses | 6,340 | 6,340 |
| Total Cost of Attendance | $46,100 | $59,150 |
*Contract college tuition for research degrees (M.A., M.S., M.S./Ph.D., Ph.D.) and non-degree students: $20,800.
**Endowed tuition for research degrees (M.A., M.S., M.S./Ph.D., Ph.D.) and non-degree students: $29,500.
Budgeting
Your education-related costs may be different from the budget we use for financial aid purposes. Please remember that you cannot use education loans (even private education loans) to cover costs above our published budget. You may have to plan carefully to ensure that you can meet all your expenses during the year.
Additional expenses, up to but not exceeding the amount listed here, can be used to increase the cost-of-attendance amount, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis after a student submits a request along with the appropriate documentation.
