27-28 Estimated Financial Aid & Estimated Cost
Below are the estimated financial aid packages and estimated costs for the 27-28 academic year. These should be treated as ESTIMATED financial aid offers and costs and not as confirmed, finalized offers.
These estimates are the minimum amount a student will receive in financial aid and the maximum a student would pay out-of-pocket. This means a student could receive more in financial aid (ex. Pell Grant, IL MAP Grant, Federal Work Study, etc.), and the student could owe less than what they see below.
