How we worked these out
The family
A family of four with good parent credit and $500 a month to put toward college, and the savings you pick. In state, the grants are what Emory & Henry University reports families at that income got, on average. Your own will differ, and a family with no aid pays close to the full price.
What a SmartTuition plan saves
The difference, over four years, between a SmartTuition plan and the standard approach: savings first, then loans for the rest. It counts loan interest and the federal tax credit. For a family that lives in Virginia, it also counts Virginia's tax deduction for money you put through its 529 plan.
The $7,300 in the “Pay less for college” box near the top of this page is the median saving in Emory & Henry University's own scenarios. Each scenario is a household that lives in Virginia, with an income from $45,000 to $200,000 and savings of none, $40,000 or $100,000 in a 529. We price Emory & Henry University at the aid it reports for that income.
Every scenario has parents with good credit and $500 a month toward college. The card above uses the same two. A scenario where the parents would borrow more than $65,000 is left out.
The prices by income
- They describe students who got aid.
- “Over $110,000” has no upper limit, so it averages families just over $110,000 with far wealthier ones. A family at $115,000 should expect to pay less than it shows.
- Each range is reported on its own, so the prices do not always rise with income.
Where the prices come from
Where the prices come from: Emory & Henry University's own 2026-27 tuition, fees, housing and food, from its website, carried forward to 2027 at 4.0% a year. Books are the College Scorecard's. The prices after grants are the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (2025-26 figures), carried forward the same way. The average price after grants counts the students who get federal aid. Your own figure will be different.
Emory & Henry University reset its price for 2026-27. The prices after grants here are from 2025-26, before the reset, so they may not match what families pay now.
