COST OF ATTENDANCE
The Health Sciences Center Financial Aid Office, with the help of your respective department, determines what it will cost, on average, for you to attend West Virginia University. The budget includes an allowance for tuition & fees, room & board, books, transportation and miscellaneous educational expenses. Each year the WVU Health Sciences Center Financial Aid Office updates each component to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index of the US Department of Labor and the local "marketplace".

  1. Computer purchase - limited to a one-time computer purchase up to $1,500, unless your academic department requires all students to have additional hardware/software requirements for the major.
  2. Costs associated with a study abroad or cooperative education program.
  3. Expenses related to a disability which are not covered through other agencies
  4. Childcare expenses
  5. Independent student who have dependent(s) other than a spouse.
