Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $25,871 sticker price at UVA Wise. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay a net price of $15,634, while those from middle-income families ($30,000-$48,000) pay just $6,448. The typical graduate leaves with $16,750 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $178. Over four years, total costs range from $25,792 for lower-income students to $46,588 for wealthy families.

The modest debt burden makes sense given graduates' median earnings of $45,325 after ten years. Monthly loan payments represent roughly 5% of typical graduate income. Middle-class families from Virginia get the sweetest deal here. They benefit from both in-state tuition rates and substantial need-based aid, often paying less than community college costs while getting a full university experience in Appalachia's mountains.
