“Tuition and fees are the price you pay for taking classes at your college. This amount can change based on your academic program, the number of credit hours you take and whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student.”

Tuition and Fees
• Room = Housing
• Board = Food
“Colleges usually offer a variety of dorm-room options and meal plans to students who live on campus. The charges vary
depending on what plan you choose. If you decide to live at home or off-campus, you'll have your own rent and meal costs
to consider in your college costs.”

• Example University of New Mexico Living On-Campus:
• Room: $4890 - $6290 per year (2014-15)
Source: http://housing.unm.edu/zz-documents/rates-past-year2.pdf
• Board: $1600 - $1800 per year (2013-14)

Room and Board
“Whether you commute to campus or take the occasional trip home, you'll have transportation costs. Of course, these will vary depending on how you travel and how often. You may be able to find student discounts on travel costs. Don't forget to factor in the cost of gas if you own a car.”

• Example University of New Mexico:
• Transportation: $1766 per year (2013-14)• Source: http://admissions.unm.edu/cost-residency/
• A portion of the transportation budget is parking• Parking at UNM’s Main campus costs between $235 and $499
Source: http://admissions.unm.edu/cost-residency/
• Keep in mind that if you attend an out-of-state university, flying or driving home over
breaks may cost more than driving home from an in-state university. Also, keep in
mind that if you take a car to campus you will have to pay for parking in addition to the
cost of the car (gas, insurance, etc.). If you take a bike or walk there is no additional
cost. Also, free city bus passes may be available to students.
Parking and Transportation
“You'll need books and other course materials. The yearly books-and-supplies estimate for the average student at a four-year public college is about $1,200. You may be able to lower these costs by buying used textbooks or renting them.”

• Example University of New Mexico 2013-14 :
• Books and Supplies Budget: $1310/year
Source: http://admissions.unm.edu/cost-residency/
• Renting textbooks is becoming more and more
popular and is one way to reduce the cost of
college. This is a great option for classes that
you will not be needing to keep the book. The
example to the right lists the different options
for one of the required books for UNM’s HIST 162Source: http://unm.verbacompare.com/comparison?id=110543
Books and Supplies
“These include laundry, cell phone bills, eating out and anything else you normally spend money on. Figure out what you spend and add that amount to your budget.”

So how do you pay for everything?

Types of aide available through financial aid include:
Grants free money you don’t have to pay back
Work-Study money set aside that you earn through working part-time, typically on-campus
Loans money loaned to you or your parents to help pay for you to go to school. Student loans,
typically don’t require repayment until you are done with school.
So how do you pay for everything?
2. Scholarships: Free money you don’t have to pay back
A. State-based scholarships:
Example: New Mexico Legislative Lottery Scholarship (Lottery Scholarship)
• As it currently stands, the Lottery Scholarship covers tuition only for up to eight semesters.
To qualify you must:
• Graduate from a New Mexico High School
• Attend a public college/university in New Mexico the first semester after you graduate high school (excluding summer semester)
• Complete 12 semester hours (credits) with a 2.5 GPA in your first semester of college
• If you do this, the lottery scholarship will begin paying your tuition for your second semester.
• You must continue to successfully complete 12 credits each semester and maintain a 2.5 GPA
• The Lottery Scholarship in it’s current state is running low on funds. The NM State Legislation should be making some changes soon. Once a decision has been made on changes, Mrs. Chandler will email you the information.

current seniors in high school and current

scholarship opportunities. Make sure you
keep your email address updated in
JupiterGrades to receive these lists!
