2007-2008 Graduate Program
Effective Summer 2007

Listed below are the expenses for a standard student budget. If the student has children and is married, and his/her spouse earned at least $4,000 in the prior calendar year, the budget will be increased for child care costs by $433 per quarter for each child. If the spouse is also a Life University student, child care costs will be divided evenly. If the student is single and has children, the budget will be increased by $866 per quarter for each child. We encourage students to cut costs (i.e. additional roommates, share books, and carpool) in order to limit borrowing. Students should always borrow the least amount necessary.
