Section 1018 of Public Law 116-315, Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020, requires educational institutions to make certain disclosures to students using federal military and/or VA education benefits. To ensure compliance with the law, we have developed the Shopping Sheet Information for Student Veterans/Veteran’s Dependents.

Estimated Cost of Attendance. This is not a bill. The Business Office will send you a statement or it can be review online.
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships establishes standard student budgets yearly as a basis for awarding financial aid funds. A budget or an estimated cost of attendance (COA) is designed to assist students with their educational expenses for the academic year. The budget represents our best estimate of what an average student may spend for one academic year. You may review your COA in My Falcon Landing Portal.
