Tuition Rates and Financial Aid Budget

Your budget is the amount of money The UW Office of Student Financial Aid and the School of Dentistry estimate you will need for tuition, books, fees, dental issue items, and living expenses for the school year. The total amount of money provided to you in financial aid cannot exceed your budget. The OSFA determines students' budgets each year, taking into account living costs in the University district as well as the greater Seattle area.

In certain circumstances, budgets may be increased for individual students to cover certain approved and documented costs. These costs may include purchase of a computer, health insurance, medical/dental/vision expenses, additional transportation costs, childcare, and living expenses for dependents/children.
