To find out the total cost of Jason's education, you need to add up the costs for each academic year.

Here is how you can calculate it:

1. Identify the academic years that Jason was in college: 2001-2002, 2002-2003, 2003-2004, and 2004-2005.

2. Locate the corresponding cost for each academic year:
- For the 2001-2002 year, the cost is $8022.
- For the 2002-2003 year, the cost is $8502.
- For the 2003-2004 year, the cost is $9249.
- For the 2004-2005 year, the cost is $9877.

3. Add up all the costs for each academic year to find the total cost of Jason's education:
$8022 + $8502 + $9249 + $9877 = $35,650.

Therefore, Jason's education cost a total of $35,650.
