<p>Does anyone know if the SSS funnel machine makes allowances for COL based on geographic regions? Disposable income in New Mexico must go a lot farther than the same amount in the tri-state region due to COL. Is this accounted for behind the scenes? Assets, with the exception of home values, not so much.</p>
<p>In our experience, they do. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Yes, financial aid directors (or, at least the good ones) definitely take into consideration cost of living differences, as well as travel costs to and from campus, when making financial aid award decisions.</p>
