The University of Virginia has come in at No. 3 in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance’s “100 Best Values in Public Colleges.”
Kiplinger’s ranked UVa based on its academic quality, its AccessUVA financial aid program and its large endowment and successful fundraising operation.
AccessUVA pledges to meet 100 percent of student need and guarantees loan-free financial aid packages for students whose family income is up to twice the federal poverty level.
Kiplinger’s lists UVa’s total in-state costs — including tuition, fees and room and board — as $18,460 per year for in-state students and $38,760 for out-of-state students. UVa graduates carry an average debt load of $16,847, second-lowest among the top 10 schools, according to the magazine.
Kiplinger’s has ranked UVa third for three of the past four years; this year, it trails only the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Florida.
The ranking comes in the magazine’s December issue, which hits newsstands Nov. 11.
