                  STUDENT EXPENSE BUDGET AND STANDARD EXPENSES

Student Expense Budget
A student expense budget is defined as the direct education costs and indirect 
educational costs related to attendance at Oglala Lakota College during a specified 
period, which is usually a 9-month period.  As a guide to equitable consideration of all 
Oglala Lakota College students, the student’s expense budget has been established. 
The Financial Aid Director will review the area demographics for the cost of living to 
determine if there is a need for an increase in our Cost of Attendance.

The costs suggested are considered standard and are allowed in the student expense 
budget, than those exceptions noted.  The amounts specified can be exceeded only with 
acceptable documentation.
