Tuition and Fees

Semester tuition is $10,324 and residency fees are $725. To complete the MFA Program for Writers, students will complete four semesters of tuition and five residencies (with their final residency being the graduation residency). Fees for the residency go towards a private room (single-occupancy), board, and facilities use while on campus. Additional variable expenses include travel to and from Asheville twice a year, books (15-20+ each semester), and possibly postage.

In January during residencies at Blue Ridge Assembly, rooms with a private bath are available for an additional $200. The MFA Program for Writers provides substantial need-based aid. Given the high standards set for admission into our MFA Program, we are equally eager for all admitted students to attend. All students who demonstrate need as determined by the FAFSA receive MFA grants and are considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible.*

Please note that the Free Tuition Plan for qualifying NC residents initiated in 2018 at Warren Wilson College applies to undergraduate students only.
