<p>Is the financial aid at UVA as horrible as the website makes it sound? The way I saw it (for a non-Virginian) tuition is around $48,000, and $46,000 with the average amount of financial aid for a UVA undergrad.</p>
<p>It depends. AccessUVA caps the amount of loans you can receive over your time at UVA, but it is based on your FAFSA EFC and confirmed/followed up by institutional paperwork.</p>
<p>If you are very low income, you will get a lot more in grants. I never paid for much more than living expenses. Other students may come from middle income families and not receive as much.</p>
