Our Bottom Line Estimator can help you calculate if you will owe money or receive a refund after receiving financial aid for the semester. The estimator allows you to enter your housing choices, enrollment, and individual information, then automatically subtracts the financial aid you are scheduled
to receive.

To access the Bottom Line Estimator

1. Log in at myBoiseState.
2. Choose “Bottom Line Estimator” from the My Account tab or type “estimator” in the Services search box (add it as a resource for easy access in the future).
3. Make sure you understand the benefits and limitations of the estimator before you continue by signing the disclaimer.
4. Enter information about your enrollment, housing, additional costs and fees. The final summary shows if you have an owing balance after financial aid, or if you will receive a refund.

Parent PLUS Loans

Boise State Financial Aid Parent PLUS Loans

• The Federal Direct Loan program Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is an option if the student’s financial aid and other family resources are unable to cover
  all costs of a college education.
• Payments on the principal loan amount may be deferred as long as the student is enrolled at least half-time.
• A review of parent’s eligibility is conducted. If denied, it is possible for the student to request an additional unsubsidized loan that is available to independent students.
  Apply online at studentaid.gov.

Alternative Student Loans

• Alternative student loans are provided by private lenders and may be used to bridge the gap between your federal aid and the cost of attendance. Boise State does not endorse specific lenders and will process loans from any other loan lender. Be sure you have fully explored all federal funding options.
