Cost of Attendance
At Santa Clara University, we know that cost often affects college choice. That is why we want you to know the total cost of your education at Santa Clara University and understand all your financial aid options for bringing this great opportunity within reach. After all, seventy-four percent of our students receive financial aid, and seventy percent qualify for our SCU-based awards ¹.
So let us start with your total Cost of Attendance (COA), which includes both the things you usually expect to pay for (tuition, fees, room and board) as well as things you may not immediately think of (books, supplies, personal expenses and a transportation allowance). The COA provides a more accurate and comprehensive picture of what it will cost to attend Santa Clara University. It is also the number we use when we determine how much financial aid you need.
