Program Costs
See a detailed breakdown of costs. Students pay their regular on-campus tuition and fees, plus an additional program fee of $750. This fee covers costs for programming, events, and internship support for the time students are in Washington.

Additional Student Spending in D.C.
The average cost per student will vary; however, most students report spending a minimum of between $50-$100 per week on groceries and other personal expenses.
Financial Aid
Students currently receiving financial aid will likely be able to apply most or all of it to the costs of the D.C. Semester Program.
FINANCING STUDY AWAY PROGRAMS & FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION
Required On-Campus Fees
Like W&M study abroad programs, the D.C. Semester Program will not grant a waiver for student fees. These fees are devoted to supporting institutions, services and activities on campus that will continue to operate throughout the school year. It would be disastrous for these programs to suffer cyclical budget swings depending on the number of students on or off campus in any given semester.
Veterans Education Benefits
Students are able to use veterans education benefits (GI Bill®) for their participation in Study in D.C. academic programs. If you have additional questions about the DVS review and veterans education benefits in general, email Carolyn Ward caward01@wm.edu, Veterans Benefits Officer.
