Yes. On-campus room and board are part of Emory’s cost of attendance, so eligible financial aid can help cover those costs.
Can financial aid be used to pay for on-campus housing?
Emory’s financial-aid cost-of-attendance framework includes housing and food. Aid is applied under the student’s overall financial-aid eligibility and student-account rules; the amount of aid available is not a separate housing guarantee.
Can scholarships pay for room and board?
Emory treats outside scholarships as part of the student’s total financial-aid package and applies aid within cost-of-attendance and eligibility limits. Because housing and food are part of cost of attendance, qualifying scholarship funds can help cover them, although individual scholarship restrictions still control.
Can student loans pay for on-campus housing?
Emory’s cost-of-attendance calculation includes housing and food, and financial aid is assembled against that budget. Loan eligibility, annual limits, and other aid determine how much is actually available to apply to the student account.
Can choosing a more expensive dorm affect how much aid my student receives?
Emory calculates aid using its cost-of-attendance and demonstrated-need framework. Residence-hall choices have different published prices, but an upgrade to a more expensive room does not itself promise additional need-based grant aid. Families should compare the actual room charge with the aid package and contact Financial Aid before relying on extra aid.
Can a 529 plan be used to pay for Emory room and board?
Emory’s College Savings Plans page explains how 529 and prepaid-plan payments are processed. Because qualified higher-education treatment is governed by the plan and tax rules, families should have the plan provider send funds in time for Emory’s student-account deadline and confirm the eligible room-and-board amount with the plan or tax adviser.
