A lot of Aggies come into the Financial Aid Office thinking tuition and Cost of Attendance are the same number. They're not, and it's one of the most common mix-ups we see.

Here's the quick version: Tuition is just what you pay for your classes. Your Cost of Attendance (COA) is the full picture: tuition, housing, food, books, transportation, all of it. And when it comes to your Pell Grant? It's calculated based on your COA, not just your tuition bill meaning it's designed to help you cover way more than just your classes.

That one distinction can completely change how you read your financial aid package.

This is Wanna Know Wednesdays where every week we're breaking down exactly this kind of stuff so you can understand YOUR money and make the most of it.

Questions about your specific aid? Come see us at the NMSU Financial Aid Office, we're here to help!

Federal financial aid is changing beginning July 1, 2026. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes updates to Pell Grant eligibility, student loan limits for part-time enrollment, and expanded opportunities for workforce and trade program students.

These changes may impact current students, returning adults, graduate students, and families planning for college costs. Take a moment to review what’s changing and see what may apply to you or your student.

Our office is here to help answer questions and guide you through these updates every step of the way.

April is Stress Awareness Month, and honestly… this time of the semester can feel like a lot.

Between classes, deadlines, and everything else going on, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Give yourself a little credit, you’ve made it this far.

If stress is hitting hard, take a step back, breathe, and focus on one thing at a time. You don’t have to do everything all at once.

We’re here if you need support 🤝
