How much will you need to pay for college?

We use budgets to determine the types and amounts of financial aid students are eligible for, based on expenses that include the average cost of:
  • tuition and fees
  • books and supplies
  • room and board
  • transportation
  • miscellaneous costs

We also take these factors into account when determining your college costs:
Dependent status:
Are you living at home with your parents, or on your own?


Tuition residency classification:
Are you in-district, out-of-district, or out-of-state?


Personal expenses:
Because of federal student aid regulations, Parkland may not include any expenses of other family members that you may be supporting financially.

The following costs of attending Parkland for the 2007-2008 school year and are based on 2 semesters, 16 hours each:
