Richmond’s Promise to Virginia
Beginning in fall 2025, the University of Richmond will fund 100% of the cost of tuition, housing, and food for qualified Virginia students whose parental income is $75,000 or less. And, since this is grant funding, it does not need to be paid back. That’s Richmond’s Promise to Virginia—to make a University of Richmond education accessible for the best and brightest students from across the Commonwealth.
