Law Student Budget Appeal
2018-19 Academic Year
The School of Law Office of Admission and 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/living 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 for enrollment expenses.
Students who feel the standard budget does not accurately reflect their expenses, may submit a budget appeal for acceptable expenses.² 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 two weeks for your appeal to be reviewed.
