Hi everyone, I'm a Virginia resident and I'm considering James Madison University. But, the costs of college have been a major concern for me. Does anybody know what the in-state undergraduate tuition and fees at JMU look like?
In-state tuition and fees for an undergraduate student attending James Madison University are currently around $14,242 per academic year, as of the 2024-2025 academic year. It's crucial to remember, though, that this cost only covers tuition as well as mandatory student and activities fees.
When budgeting for college, there are additional costs to consider, such as housing, meals, textbooks, and personal expenses. When you add these onto the tuition and fees, the total cost of attendance at JMU becomes approximately $27,158 annually for in-state students living on-campus.
Furthermore, this is the sticker price and financial aid may reduce your actual out of pocket cost. Make sure to submit your FAFSA to see what federal aid you're eligible for, and check out what institutional scholarships or grants JMU offers that you could apply for. You should also use JMU's net price calculator (https://www.jmu.edu/financialaid/calculators/undergraduate.shtml) to get a more personalized estimate of what you might actually pay.
