Housing and Food (Room and Board)

Quartermaster Charges

VMI returns this deposit, less any deductions for damages or unpaid obligations and without interest, upon graduation of the cadet or the termination of the cadetship.

Health Insurance
Health Insurance is a required fee for all International cadets. The amount included is an estimate for the 2024-25 academic year.  Please contact the Office of International Programs for specific coverage information.

Direct Costs
Direct Costs include VMI billable expenses. Tuition, fees, housing, and food are VMI’s Direct Costs.

In-state cadets should plan on $3,350 in Indirect Costs. Indirect Costs include other expenses you may incur, including approximately: $1,200 books, source materials, supplies and equipment; $1,700 personal expenses (potential loan origination fees); and $450 transportation.
