Dependent Expenses -- All Programs

Dependent expenses for Lewis & Clark programs are determined by Student Financial Services in consultation with International Student Services. The expenses for dependents are the same in all Lewis & Clark programs.

Dependent expenses are determined as follows: Take the published, off-campus room costs on a monthly basis, halve it, and multiply by 12 months. Take the published, off-campus board costs on a monthly basis and multiply by 12 months. Add the published incidental costs for the first dependent. Add the published insurance cost for the first dependent. Each additional dependent is charged the cost of board, plus 1/2 the cost of incidentals, plus $1200 for insurance.

Dependent expenses for the 2007-08 academic year are listed below:

For the 2007-08 academic year, the cost of the first dependent is $16,385. The cost for a second dependent would be an additional $6,398. Note that health insurance is required for all international students and their dependents. Students who prefer to purchase health insurance through a private company may do so as long as they show proof of insurance coverage at acceptable levels.

International students and scholars who plan to have family members accompany them are required to prove they have resources at the levels listed above.
