University of Tampa: Can choosing a more expensive dorm affect how much aid my student receives?
DIRECT ANSWER
This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.
Choosing a more expensive room can increase the family contribution; aid is not automatically increased to match that room.
UTampa's financial-aid cost of attendance uses an estimated housing-and-food budget, while actual residence-hall and meal-plan prices vary by selection. A room above the budget does not create a promise of additional aid dollar for dollar.
