Cost of Attendance
The Johns Hopkins School of Education estimates your Cost of Attendance (COA) each academic year by projecting your educational costs based on federal regulatory guidelines. The Office of Financial Aid uses the COA to determine your financial need and aid eligibility.
The COA consists of direct costs, such as tuition and fees, and indirect costs, including books, transportation, computer, loan, personal expenses, housing, and food.
The indirect portion of your COA is a modest estimate of a student’s cost of living (housing, board, books, etc.) aligned with federal guidelines. It is not meant to serve as an exact assessment of your actual expenses. Each student’s COA will vary depending on the program of study, dependency, and enrolled credit load.
After the Department of Education processes your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the information is sent to the University’s Office of Student Enrollment & Account Management (SEAM) – Financial Aid. The Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management (SEAM) works cross-functionally to provide support with financial aid, student accounts, and registration.
Please request support through SEAM’s online form to review your COA budget.

¹ Student Health Insurance – All full-time students (registered for nine or more credits per semester – fall/spring) must either enroll in JHU’s health insurance plan or submit a waiver showing comparable health insurance coverage. All International students with an active F1 or J1 Visa status are ineligible to waive and must purchase the university plan.
* If you are student living in housing on a military base or for which you receive a basic allowance under section 403(b) of Title 37 of the United States Code, please contact SEAM to discuss how this may affect your cost of attendance.
Please note: Students with special circumstances for unanticipated expenses can request a budget adjustment to their cost of attendance that may allow for additional federal borrowing eligibility
Student Health Insurance
We highly recommend that all SOE students maintain adequate health insurance coverage to provide protection against unexpected accidents and illnesses. However, students may waive enrollment in the school plan if covered by a plan that is comparable to that offered by the University.
SOE students currently in full–time status (registered for 9 credits or more per semester) must either purchase the university-sponsored student health insurance plan at their own expense or complete the health insurance waiver process. International students with an F–1 or J–1 visa status must purchase the university plan and will be automatically enrolled.
