Scholarship Cost Coverage Calculator
Calculates your remaining out-of-pocket tuition cost and what percentage a scholarship covers.
This calculator subtracts your scholarship amount from total tuition cost to find what you'd still owe out of pocket, and also expresses the scholarship as a percentage of tuition covered. It's a quick way to compare multiple scholarship offers side by side, or to see how much additional aid you'd still need to close the remaining gap after a scholarship award.
Example
- With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Remaining Out-of-Pocket Cost ≈ $14000; Scholarship Coverage ≈ 36.4%.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include other financial aid like grants or loans?
No — this only compares the scholarship amount against total tuition cost; add any other grants, aid, or loans separately to get your full remaining balance.
Does this include living expenses or fees?
No — 'total tuition cost' should reflect tuition (and any fees you choose to include); add housing, books and other living costs separately for a full cost-of-attendance picture.
