In-State Tuition:
To determine the qualification requirements for In-State tuition, please refer to the following site.   All applications for these privileges should be submitted to the Registrar directly. Please note you must file a new In-State Tuition request even if you have already been recognized as an In-State student during your undergraduate studies, even if these were completed at W&M.

Financial Aid:

Merit scholarship for the MAcc Program at the College of William & Mary is based on an applicant's academic and personal achievements, not on financial need. In addition, the Office of Financial Aid administers a variety of student loan programs. We also suggest applicants look at http://www.finaid.org/  for an exhaustive collection of information about student financial aid.

Graduate Assistantships (GAs) offer students an excellent opportunity to work closely with a faculty member on valuable research or on projects with administrative units in the Mason School of Business. Students receiving a graduate assistantship are expected to either work ten hours a week and receive $4,000 for the academic year or work five hours a week and receive $2,000 for the academic year. GA applications will be made available to admitted students during the spring prior to their arrival on campus.
