Once you’re admitted to Washington University, we do all we can to make your enrollment a reality:
This year, our undergraduates are receiving nearly $65 million in scholarships and grants from the University.
Many financial assistance awards equal or exceed the cost of tuition.
Washington University offers a program that seeks to eliminate need-based loans as part of its undergraduate financial assistance awards to our students from low- to middle-income families. Students who receive financial assistance come from a broad range of economic backgrounds.
Exceptional candidates for admission can apply for academic scholarships regardless of need. Last year, about 200 academic scholarships were awarded to freshmen based entirely on their academic promise.
Parents can spread their share of the costs over time using our interest-free payment plan, or they can benefit from our competitive fixed interest rate borrowing options, take up to 10 years to repay, and freeze four years of costs at the entering-year rate.
Call Student Financial Services if you have special circumstances we should consider, or if you have questions at any time. We’re here to help. Call: (888) 547-6670 (toll-free), or (314) 935-5900.
