Pay Now

Full Price
One-time payment

Pay your full tuition upfront. No discount because it's already ridiculously cheap. Includes bragging rights about being financially responsible.

Promise Plan

$0
Pay when you're rich*

Pay nothing now. Once you're earning over $100,000 annually (thanks to your VU degree), you'll pay us back. We'll be waiting. Probably forever.

*Vagibond Flex payments are interest-free but honor-system based. Promise Plan participants agree to eventually pay, with "eventually" being legally undefined.

Financial Aid FAQ

Common questions answered with varying degrees of helpfulness.

How do I apply for financial aid?

Fill out our VAFSA (Vagibond Application for Student Aid). It's one question: "Do you need aid?" Check yes. You're done. Aid granted.

What payment plans are available?

We offer the Optimistic Plan (pay now, feel good), the Realistic Plan (pay later, feel okay), and the Vagibond Plan (pay never, feel complicated emotions).

Is there a payment deadline?

Technically, yes. Practically, we're flexible. Very, very flexible. Our collections department is one person, and they're also the dean.

Can I get a refund?

All fees are non-refundable. However, your education is priceless. So mathematically, you're coming out infinitely ahead. That's just science.

Do you accept other financial aid?

We accept anything. Cash, cryptocurrency, gift cards (unused), plasma donation receipts, lottery tickets (unscratched), and interesting rocks. We're not picky.

What if I can't afford the application fee?

Check the "fee waiver" box on the application. Explain your situation in 3 words or less. We'll waive it. We always do. We've never not waived it.

Is my payment information secure?

We use industry-standard security practices. By "industry," we mean the education industry. By "standard," we mean we try our best. Your trust means everything.

Can I pay with a payment plan?

Yes! Our Vagibond Flex plan lets you pay $5/month for 60 months. If you miss a payment, we'll send a gentle reminder. If you miss 60 payments, we'll send 60 gentle reminders.
