Eligibility for financial aid, however, is based on the standard estimated allowance, not on individual preferences and spending habits. Website sfs.virginia.edu/cost/17-18 3 4 The University of Virginia Alumni Association administers more than 250 different scholarships ranging from modest stipends to full tuition, room and board. Many of these scholarships are available through an application process independent of the University’s financial aid process.
