Financial Assistance:
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 $64 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.

Campus Life: Residental Living
Living in a residental college is a great experience, especially for upcoming freshman. Washington University
allows students that live outside the St. Louis metropolitan area to live in the residence houses for their first year. Wash
U's residental colleges are complete living centers. Here, they have recreation and game rooms, computing, and laundry facilities.The
South 40 residence area, as seen in this picture, is a center of activity with a café, a fitness center, technology center,
meeting rooms, intramural fields, basketball and sand volleyball courts, game rooms, and a photographic dark room. You’ll
also find several student-run businesses, including a video store and a laundry/dry cleaning business. Most first-year students
will start their residential experiences in a double room. There are also a limited number of triple and single rooms. All
residence houses are coeducational. I found this to very interesting because I like to learn about new things from all over
the world so just hearing them say that freshman can stay for the first year, that would give me a great experience to learn
about so many different people from different countries.
