Virginia Tech is pleased to offer the Budget Tuition Plan (BTP), a convenient method of planning and budgeting tuition, fees, room, board, lab, course and software charges for the current term. The Budget Tuition Plan can cover all or part of the fall or spring semester institutional charges. By using direct debits to your chosen payment method, the Budget Tuition Plan allows you to divide your cost into 4 monthly installments instead of paying one lump sum by the tuition payment deadline date.
