Tuition and Fees
There are numerous costs associated with a year of study at Dillard University. In the following examples we have divided these educationally related costs into two categories: "direct costs" and "indirect costs." Direct costs are charged or billed to you by Dillard University (these include tuition, fees, and on-campus room and board). Indirect costs are not billed by Dillard University. They are related to books, supplies, personal expenses, and travel expenses and are incurred independently from the university. Indirect costs vary from student to student. We include these costs in your student budget as estimates only. These estimates are based on the average spending patterns of our students from prior school years as well as state-wide averages provided by the Louisiana Office of State Financial Assistance.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
If you have special circumstances which you feel affect your ability to finance your educational costs you should send us a letter as soon as possible. Explain in detail your special circumstances and be sure to include supporting documentation. Submit this information directly to the Financial Aid Office on campus; do not send it with your FAFSA.
