Financial Aid
Financial Aid
We believe a student’s talent and potential should determine their opportunity to enroll and thrive—not their financial circumstances.
Central to this commitment is GW's Revolutionary Promise, a dedicated initiative that covers 50% to 100% of tuition for qualifying students.
In general, 99% of applicants with need will receive financial assistance.
Merit Scholarships
All first-year, transfer, and international applicants are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships as part of the admissions process.
Revolutionary Promise
Full Tuition Guarantee for students with household income below $100,000
Half-off Tuition (or more) for students with household income up to $150,000
Merit scholarships extend for up to 6 years of undergraduate study for all students
Need-Based Aid
GW's Office of Student Financial Assistance administers need-based aid to eligible undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
GW offers an interest-free payment plan and other payment methods to help students and families spread out tuition costs.
