  • Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant (VTAG)
    For Virginia Residents whose daughters attend one of Virginia's Private Colleges
  • Academic Common Market Academic Common Market
    Virginia is one of 15 members of the Academic Common Market (ACM). This consortium of states/commonwealths allows students who are residents to attend out-of-state universities for in-state tuition rates if they meet the requirements – typically, ACM applies if a student’s state of residence does not offer a particular college major offered by one of the partner institutions. Not all colleges in member states participate. At this time, ACM member states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Not all majors are eligible and in some cases (for example, the reduced tuition benefit may apply only for the junior and senior years of college, once the student has taken general education/core curriculum college classes during the first two years and declared a major). It is important to understand the details – and to recognize that participation and particular majors may change from year to year. These contracts are renegotiated every year and subject to change.
