Glossary of Terms and Definitions
Cost of Attendance (COA): 你在学年期间上学的总费用(不包括助学金和奖学金). COA includes tuition and fees; housing and food; and allowances for books, supplies, transportation, loan fees, and dependent care. It also includes miscellaneous and personal expenses, such as an allowance for the rental or purchase of a personal computer; costs related to a disability; and reasonable costs for eligible study-abroad programs. For students attending less than half-time, the COA includes tuition and fees; an allowance for books, supplies, and transportation; and dependent care expenses.
Direct Subsidized Loan: Loans that the U.S. Department of Education pays the interest on while you’re in school at least half-time, for the first six months after you leave school (referred to as a grace period*), and during a period of deferment (a postponement of loan payments).
Direct Unsubsidized Loan: Loans that the borrower is responsible for paying the interest on during all periods. 如果你选择不支付利息，而你在学校，在宽限期和延期或宽限期, your interest will accrue (accumulate) and be capitalized (that is, your interest will be added to the principal amount of your loan).
Expected Family Contribution:你的学校用来计算你有资格获得的联邦学生援助金额的数字. 它是基于你在联邦学生援助免费申请(FAFSA)中提供的财务信息。. This is not the amount of money your family will have to pay for college, nor is it the amount of federal student aid you will receive.
Federal Work-Study一项联邦学生援助计划，在学生入学期间提供兼职工作，以帮助支付其教育费用. The student must seek out and apply for work-study jobs at his or her school. 学生将直接获得他或她的工作时间的报酬，可能不会自动记入支付机构的学费或费用. The amount you earn cannot exceed the total amount awarded by the school for the award year. The availability of work-study jobs varies by school. Please note that Federal Work-Study earnings may be taxed in certain scenarios; however the income you earn will not be counted against you when calculating your Expected Family Contribution on the FASFA.
Grants and Scholarships: Student aid funds that do not have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based, while scholarships are usually merit-based. Occasionally you might have to pay back part or all of a grant if, for example, you withdraw from school before finishing a semester. If you use a grant or scholarship to cover your living expenses, the amount of your scholarship may be counted as taxable income on your tax return.
Loans: Borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. 联邦政府贷款的利率通常比私人贷款的利率低. Federal loans, listed from most advantageous to least advantageous, are called Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Parent PLUS Loans. You can find more information about federal loans at StudentAid.gov.
