University of Virginia Library

EXPENSES

Students in the School of Commerce are subject only to the regular fees of
the academic departments. The necessary expenses of a Virginia student (all
University fees, board and room, books and laundry) need not exceed $400 for
the session. The actual expenses are usually greater than this, but are largely
within the control of the student himself. One who is willing to practice strict
economy can live at a more reasonable cost at the University of Virginia than at
most institutions of similar rank.

Free tuition in the academic departments, equivalent to a scholarship worth
$175, is given to each student from Virginia. There are also available for deserving
students many scholarships, including over 100 which yield from $250 to $600
a year. Moreover, there are 119 scholarships for prospective Virginia teachers,
numerous endowed fellowships, and several loan funds. Two teaching fellowships
of $500 each are available for graduate students in the James Wilson School of
Economics, and new additional fellowships of even greater value will be available
for 1929-30 and later sessions, some of which will be allocated to graduate students
in Economics and Commerce of requisite experience and promise.

Rooms may be had in one of the University dormitories and meals may be
obtained either in the University cafeteria or in an approved private boarding
house. If preferred both room and board may be obtained in such boarding house.
Good, wholesome food is served at the University cafeteria at costs ranging from
$20 to $30 per month. Many of the students are finding it possible to board at
the lower rate.
