Graduate Student Budget Appeal
2018-19 Academic Year
The Office of Financial Aid establishes a standard student expense budget¹ (also referred to as ‘cost of attendance’) for students in accordance with federal regulations (20
U.S.C. Sec. 1087ll). Commonly accepted educational expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, and personal allowance, are included. At the University of Dayton, the
standard budget encompasses an enrollment period of one academic year (two semesters). Students who enroll in the summer term in addition to the fall and spring will also
be provided a summer budget equal to half of the standard budget.
Full-time students (those taking a minimum of six hours a term) who feel the standard budget does not accurately reflect their expenses, may submit a budget appeal for
acceptable expenses². An increase to your budget will allow you to seek additional loan funds via the Federal Direct or a private loan program. In order to be considered for
additional funds, you must complete all sections of this form and submit it to our office for review. Incomplete forms may result in a delay in processing.
Please allow up to four weeks for your appeal to be reviewed.

▪ Section II: Financial Awareness
Educational loan indebtedness continues to be a growing concern, therefore, we require you to consider your current state of educational loan debt, monthly payment
obligation and monthly earning potential before requesting additional funds. In order for us to consider your budget appeal, we require you to review and note the following:
your aggregate Federal student loan amounts (www.nslds.ed.gov);
your estimated monthly payment for those loans (https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/mobile/repayment/repaymentEstimator.action. This tool uses your loan
information from National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to estimate initial monthly payments, repayment plan eligibility, repayment plan cost comparison and
total interest paid); and
your monthly earning potential (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcst.htm).
