Outside scholarships
Outside scholarships up to $2,250 may be used to reduce a student's summer and term-time employment requirements. Scholarships in excess of $2,250 will be used to reduce the Caltech grant.

Health Insurance
Fees do not include the Caltech Student Health Insurance Plan. Students are not required to purchase health insurance through Caltech provided they have coverage through a comparable plan. The plan will cost $2,340 for the 2010-11 school year -- $780 per Insurance Term. Financial aid recipients who enroll in the Caltech Student Health Insurance Plan may request that the expense be added to their estimated cost of attendance.

Other details
A travel allowance will be determined by Caltech. The Caltech grant will be increased by the amount of the travel allowance.
