Certificate Programs

Certificate programs do not qualify for federal financial aid.

As a certificate student, you will have the opportunity to enroll in a semester payment plan to disperse your semester tuition bill into several smaller incremental payments. However, semester payment plans are only available for the fall and spring semesters, NOT the summer semester.

While financial aid opportunities are limited for certificate students, we do strongly encourage you to touch base with your employer to see if you have access to any education benefits which could be used to cover program costs.

Additionally, if you are a UVA employee, please make sure to contact your HR representative or reach out to [email protected] to see if you would be able to use your UVA education benefits in one of our certificate programs. Depending on your position and how long you have worked at the university, a majority of your program costs could be covered through the use of your education benefits.


Degree Programs

The University meets 100% of an eligible undergraduate student’s demonstrated need through a combination of grants, federal work study, and federal loans. Financial aid is available for the School's degree students (on a case-by-case and semester-by-semester basis) as degree candidates at the University for courses taken at the University of Virginia. Course work outside of the University, even as required to be eligible for the UVA degree, cannot be supported by UVA financial aid, nor can students receive financial aid simultaneously from two institutions, even if course work from both institutions relates to the same degree.

To be considered for need-based financial aid, new and returning degree students must submit specific documents to UVA Student Financial Services.
