Cost of Attendance: In State

<p>Anyone with practical information on cost of attendance for the 2007-2008 year? finacial Aid award letter stated figures would be approved in May. I can pull some prices of tuition, room, board off their website. But truly, what would be a good expectation of books, personal expenses, and travel costs? Trying to bump up COA on paper so that D can receive all her outside scholarship money. Since she's instate and so close to home, looks like many of her scholarships could be reduced.</p>

<p>If you get financial aid from W&M itself, a lot of school deduct most outside scholarships from the grants the school gives anyway. I'm not sure what W&M's policy is with that but you may want to look into it if you haven't already - I know people have been unpleasantly surprised to discover this. Good luck!</p>

<p>All I know is that their is a giant tuition cost increase for next year. If you get stats for this year add 7 to 7.5% to them. I think it ends up being close to 1000 dollars. I'm pretty ****ed about that.</p>

<p>Has this increase been officially announced?</p>
