04Tuition, fees and scholarships
Additional fees
The full fee schedule (I-20 fee, recurring semester fees, CPT course fees) is not published yet. Beyond H1B sources every institution field from the school's admissions office, DSO or published catalog, so this section stays empty until it is verified and dated.
Scholarships

Partner-routed awards for eligible applicants; contact Beyond H1B to confirm current terms.
05Format and attendance
Annual travel burden: about 4 round trips a year, roughly $600 - $1,600 per year. Travel is often larger than the tuition gap between two schools, so we compute it rather than leaving you to.
06CPT policy
Current F-1 and OPT students, overseas applicants, and change-of-status applicants may be authorized for CPT from day one of the program. CPT must be renewed every year and is required for graduation. Transfer F-1 students can start up to 30 days before the quarter begins; initial F-1 students start CPT on the first day of the quarter.
Integral CPT is only lawful when the employment is a required, credit-bearing part of your program of study, authorized on your I-20 by the DSO, and matched by continuous full-time enrollment. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT at one degree level removes OPT eligibility at that level.
