The Jefferson scholarship is the premier undergraduate scholarship at the University of Virginia. Valued at more than $150,000 for an in-state student and $290,000 for out-state, it is awarded based on merit and covers the entire cost of attendance for four years at the University of Virginia. In addition, the Scholarship provides a number of enrichment opportunities, including a study abroad experience.
