Cost of Attendance
What you need to know about your Financial Aid Budget
Your financial aid budget is a total of direct and indirect costs at Vermont State University, based on residency and housing. It is not tailored to individual living expenses or choices. You can receive financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships, work study, etc.) up to the full cost of attendance.
What does Cost of Attendance really mean?
Cost of attendance (COA) is the total cost for you to attend Vermont State University each year, before financial aid. COA includes the following billable costs: general tuition, program tuition and fees, housing and a food plan. It also includes the following indirect costs: books and supplies, personal and travel. The Books & Supplies and Personal/Miscellaneous amounts in the table are estimates used in determining financial aid eligibility. Your actual expenses will vary.

Health Insurance
Health Insurance is required for full-time matriculated students and is billed in the fall and covers the full academic year. If you already have health insurance coverage, this charge can be waived by completing and submitting the online insurance selection form by the due date. |
$2,013* |
*Health insurance for spring 2024 semester only: $1,248
Other allowances that can be added to the Cost of Attendance include course fees related to specific courses, student health insurance, computer allowance, cost of obtaining licensure, study abroad expenses, dependent care expenses, disability related expenses, cooperative education cost. Allowances may be pro-rated based on enrollment.
The Average Direct Loan Fee is a fee charged on all Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans by the Federal government as a percentage of the loan amount proportionately deducted from each loan disbursement.
A Supplemental Budget form is available to students to indicate the need for additional allowances. In most cases a student will need to use private loan funds to meet indirect costs.

These fees are based on the average number of hours to complete a course. Additional hours may be required and are billed on an hourly basis until successful completion. All required courses must use full flight hours.
Some flight courses begin as 141 with an enrollment certificate. If a student receives sufficient training to complete the FAA check ride with fewer hours, they can drop as 141 students and receive an FAA Part 61 check ride to complete. Excess funding must be returned to the VA or the student’s account after financial scrutiny of fewer flight hours.
FAA First Class Medical Examination: $200 (approximately)
Completed by an authorized aviation medical examiner and a copy submitted to the Program Director or Admissions by June 1 or start of classes.
FAA Written Exam Fees: $165 per exam
Five exams required during the program.
FAA Examiner Fees: $300-$700 per check ride
Paid directly to the examiner before each oral and flight test for each certificate and rating.
Pilot Equipment: $1,700-$2,000
Insurance: $314 per year
VFA carries liability and hull insurance and extends limited liability coverage to students, but students are responsible for the insurance deductible in the event of a loss. Each student must purchase an individual non-owner policy to cover student liability protection for legal defense, deductible and loss of use, and subrogation.
