Our Commitment to Virginia Students
Making a smart decision about your future involves balancing financial options with long-term benefits — and we are committed to making our top-ranked W&M education affordable for in-state residents. The total cost of attendance is frequently one-half that of top private universities.
All first-year applicants are automatically considered for three merit-based programs. Students can also apply for additional scholarship opportunities.
