Optional Fields
UVA believes the accessibility and affordability of a quality education should be based on a student’s academic performance, talent and character – not on their ability to pay. UVA helps talented students pursue their dreams. Students are offered admission based on their intellect, academic achievements and extracurricular involvement, regardless of their financial situation or ability to pay. UVA meets 100% of financial need and UVA meets the demonstrated financial need for all in-state and out-of-state students applying by the annual March 1st deadline, through a combination of scholarships, grants, work-study and need-based loans. UVA is committed to limiting need-based loans for students with financial need, so they graduate with less debt.
