| Married
Students and Students with Dependents |
| Your
basic educational expense budget includes tuition,
fees, books and supplies. It is expected that living
and personal expenses are covered by your spouse’s
income. If you are not married, or if your spouse
is a student, a supplement may be added to the basic
budget to assist you with living expenses. Penn has
limited funds to support the individual non-educational
financial needs of married students and students
with dependents. Students in need of such funding
may be eligible for additional unsubsidized Federal
Stafford Loan. |

| College
of General Studies Students: |
| Because
your financial aid eligibility is based on the number
of courses in which you are enrolled, your budget
will vary. SFS will determine your budget from either
the charges your school places on your student account,
or the CGS Registration Form that you submit to
SFS. If you change your registration plans, e-mail
our office, or submit a revised Registration Form
so we can adjust your budget and aid. |
