University of Virginia Library

Approximate Summary of All Expenses.

The following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here, university and tuition fees,
laboratory fees (average for three years), lodging, board, laundry,
and books, but not clothing, travelling expenses or pocket money.
For each department three estimates are given,—a low, an average,
and a liberal estimate. The difference in the three depends on the
difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and laundry,—
in other words, on the scale of living of the individual student. By
sharing a room with another student, and by practicing the strictest
economy, the expenses may possibly be reduced below the low
estimate.

Virginia Students' Loan Fund.—The Virginia Students' Loan
Fund was established by an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia,
approved March 14, 1908, and amounts each year to one per
centum (1%) of the annual appropriation made by the Legislature
for the support of the university. In accordance with the terms
of this act, loans will be made "to needy and deserving students
of talent and character, from Virginia, in the Academic Departments,"
in amounts not to exceed $100 in any one session to the
student, at an annual rate of interest of 4 per centum. The applicant
for such loan must have complied with all of the requirements
for admission to the College or to the Department of Graduate
Studies. For further information regarding such loans, apply to
the Bursar, University, Virginia.

The Harvard Loan Fund.—The Harvard Loan Fund was established
in February, 1909, by an alumnus of Harvard University,

who gave to the University of Virginia the sum of $5,000, as an
evidence of the friendship and kindly relation existing between
the two institutions. Loans from this fund will be made to needy
and deserving students pursuing or intending to pursue studies in
any of the departments of the university, in amounts not to exceed
$100 in any one session to the same student, at an annual rate of
interest of 4 per centum. The applicant must have complied with
all requirements for admission to the university. Further information
regarding such loans will be furnished on application to the
Bursar, University, Virginia.

Student Self-Help.—In addition to the Loan Funds above mentioned,
opportunity is also afforded as far as possible to those who
are desirous of helping themselves by their own industry, and it
may be safely stated that any student with sufficient resources to
carry him through the first half of the session, can be reasonably
sure of obtaining work enough to pay living expenses and university
fees for the remainder of the college year. While it is difficult for
any student to be assured of renumerative work before he reaches
the university, correspondence with reference to such employment
may be had by addressing the Secretary of the Committee on
Student Self-Help, Madison Hall.

The University Commons.—This building, conveniently situated
near the center of the university, provides an attractive Dining Hall,
with accommodations for more than 250 students at once. Board
is furnished at a rate not exceeding $15 per month, which means
that students in straitened circumstances need not be deprived of
daily association with their more fortunate fellows. The Commons
is the means of greatly reducing a student's living expenses at the
university.
