Residential MAcc Tuition, Scholarships, & Financial Aid

William & Mary provides our students with exceptional academic programs, comparatively low tuition and fees, and a compelling return on investment.

Tuition

Please note that several expenses are one-time expenses and are not incurred during the spring semester. The cost of a laptop, books and supplies will vary greatly depending on individual needs. If you are currently serving as active duty military or think that you might qualify for in-state residency, please visit the William & Mary Domicile site to determine if you are eligible for Virginia residency for tuition purposes.

Alumni Referral Program and Financial Aid

Alumni Referral Program

With over 90,000 living alumni across the globe, William & Mary's alumni network continues to be one of its largest resources. William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business wants to put that resource to work to help continue to recruit top applicants to the Master of Accounting (MAcc) program.

To participate in this new program, William & Mary alumni can refer an interested student to the Master of Accounting program by completing the online form. Students who are referred and apply will receive a $5,000 Alumni Referral Scholarship upon acceptance. To be eligible for the scholarship award, the Alumni Office must receive the alumni referral before the student submits an application.

The Details:

  • Students who are referred and apply will receive a $5,000 Alumni Referral Scholarship upon acceptance.
  • Participating alumni can refer up to three students per academic term (spring and fall).
  • Accepted students can only receive one scholarship per year, regardless of the number of referrals they receive.
  • A student cannot receive a referral by a close family member (parent, grandparent, or sibling) or a faculty member who teaches in the William & Mary MAcc program.
  • To be eligible for the scholarship award, the Alumni Office must receive the alumni referral before the student submits an application.
  • The Office of Admissions will keep referrals on file only for the academic term to which the student applies.
