Costs
Your total financial aid from all sources, including loans, cannot exceed the annual cost of attendance budget set by the school. This means that the budgets below are maximums, not recommendations, for students whose support comes entirely from financial aid.
If you are borrowing loans, we strongly recommend that you budget to live under the COA budget so as to minimize borrowing, and accommodate any unexpected or emergency expenses. All costs may be subject to annual increase. For a rough estimate of next year’s figures, add 3%.

The Cost of Attendance Budget determines the maximum amount of financial aid, including all scholarships and loans, that you may receive in an academic year. Most students find they do not need the maximum amount of aid – particularly students who have any family assistance, are on a family health insurance plan, and/or are good at budgeting.
The Financial Aid Office does not determine in-state/out-of-state status. For questions regarding state residency, please contact the Office of Virginia Status at 434-982-3391 or vastatus@virginia.edu.

Financial aid during the Darden portion of the program is determined by Darden, and consists primarily of federal unsubsidized and Graduate PLUS loans. Available scholarships are generally merit-based and rare. For any questions about the financial aid during the business school terms, please contact Darden’s financial aid office at 434-924-7739, or visit their website
*Figures not yet finalized. The estimated costs above are for the referenced academic year only. Students considering the MD/MBA dual degree program may use the figures above to estimate their own future costs by adding an annual cost increase of 3%.
Tuition Payments
Tuition charges are divided into two equal payments, the first in August, the second in January or February.
Likewise, financial aid disbursements are divided into two equal payments and disbursed at the beginning of each semester. If you withdraw, refund of tuition and fees is subject to the University’s refund policy.
In most cases, financial aid recipients should not use the tuition payment plan offered through Student Accounts. Participation in a tuition payment plan may delay receipt of financial aid funds intended for living expenses. If you apply for aid on a timely basis, you do not need to pay the portion of tuition charges that will be covered by financial aid.
Virginia Residency Status
Because the University of Virginia is a state-supported school, students who are legally domiciled within the Commonwealth enjoy significant privileges in tuition. Students must apply for Virginia status.
Financial Aid and Billing – SIS & UVAPay
After you apply for financial aid, you will receive an email from your counselor that details your financial aid eligibility. The email will include instructions to log in to SIS to request loans.
If your aid will cover your tuition and fees, you do not need to make any payments in UVAPay. If your aid will not cover tuition and fees, you will need to log into UVAPay each semester and make a payment for the balance. Even if your aid has not yet disbursed, you only need to pay the difference between tuition and your expected financial aid disubrsement.
