Jennifer · Answer 1

The scholarship will pay for $9,440 of her annual tuition, the remaining amount will be $20,060 yearly just in tuition.

She will have no expenses with books.

Each year will cost her $30,510 (tuition + room and board + lab and facilities fees)

Multiply that by four years of university, and she should be expecting to contribute with $122,040.
