Student Veterans and Financial Aid

Thank you for your service and welcome to 91制片厂Pro! The Office of Financial Aid is committed to providing every student veteran with financial aid guidance and application filing assistance. We value the skills that you have gained during your service, which include discipline, organization, time management, and attentiveness. We are committed to your academic success, and we understand this requires some adjustment and we would love to share information on the services we provide that will help your transition into college.

Below you will have access to information about:

  • College Financing Plan (formerly known as the Financial Aid Shopping Sheet) will be available once you have completed the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
  • You can view your College Financing Plan on CunyFirst > Student Services Center > View Financial Aid > Aid Year > College Financing Plan

Understanding Your Cost of Attendance (COA)

The cost of attendance is the total estimated cost for attending Kingsborough Community College as estimated by the City University of New York (CUNY). Detailed cost of attendance information is available on the  webpage. Costs that you are expected to incur while pursuing your education include:

  • Tuition and Fees
  • Transportation (MetroCard)
  • Lunch
  • Room and Board
  • personal expenses

Tuition and Fees is the only part of the cost of attendance that you pay directly to the college. The other costs are covered from a combination of financial aid and your financial resources.

What is a Net Price Calculator?

Our Net Price Calculator will provide you with an early estimate of the financial aid for which you might qualify. Based on the information you provide regarding your financial situation and your education preferences; the calculator will return a net price. That price reflects your estimated costs of attending Kingsborough Community College less your estimated financial aid.
