Does the sentence make sense?

The total cost of my four-year PhD study will be approximately $61,558 including $4819.5 of tuition fees, $570.01 of student fee, $10000 of room and board per academic year.

Hey, what do you think of the above sentence? Does it have any grammatical problems? If yes, could you please point them out? Thank you very much!

The above is my newest version. Could you please take a look at it again to see if it is ok?
