That's great. At first I thought that W&M would be completely unaffordable and Virginia in-state schools go, but that definitely makes a difference.

For families making under 100K, it typically ends up being the cheapest option in state

Wow. That’s actually ridiculous how cheap it is for the lower ends. Wonder why.

Because they have significantly less income?

🙄
What I mean is it is wildly low compared to all the other VA public colleges. The others’ prices for low income are low but not rock bottom.

OP, have you tried their net price calculator? That should give you an idea.

But it's a huge jump after $110k. I thought that the jump would be more graduated. What if you make $109k?

Our HHI is under $100k (in state) and UVA was cheaper than W&M. But this was several years ago.

Now if only Fafsa can get processed so that financial aid letters can come out. But it seems like there was an error that affected many applications.

Yes. The COA - SAI will be your cost

Just so I understand - does "meeting need" mean that the school will pay the difference between the SAI amount and the COA amount? Sorry - I'm so new to understanding how the financial aid process works.

I read somewhere that W&M meets needs for families making under $150k. So if you have an SAI of $20k, does that mean that W&M will meet $23k (assuming that the COA is $43k in-state), with $5,500 being loans? Like most people, we haven't received any financial information, but not sure how it works at W&M.
