Message from Washington and Lee University

W&L's commitment to access and affordability took another giant step forward recently with the announcement of the largest alumni donation in school history to ensure that we can admit students without regard for their ability to pay. W&L joins fewer than 25 U.S. colleges capable of exercising need-blind admissions while also guaranteeing to meet 100% of every student's demonstrated financial need with grants that do not need to be repaid and an optional campus work-study job -- and without loans. Learn more about our financial aid programs at https://www.wlu.edu/admissions/financial-aid.
