The purpose of student financial aid is not limited to tuition and college fee costs, but can be applied to basic costs for a student who is attending college such as room, board, transportation, and miscellaneous personal necessities. Student financial aid is generally provided to assist with the costs of going to college and is not intended to relieve or replace a student’s or parent’s ability to pay a portion of or all of that cost.
