Financial Aid Recipients: In addition to other factors, financial aid awards are based on a student budget that incorporates average residence hall costs. In the 2007 - 2008 academic year, the maximum housing allocation was $13,848. The cost for a double suite space at either Clark Kerr Campus or Foothill Student Housing is higher than the allocation. Thus, financial aid recipients living in one of these halls may need to supplement their funding or budget accordingly.
