The George Washington University strives to admit the most qualified candidates regardless of their financial situation. GW's financial assistance program includes scholarships, fellowships, loans, graduate assistantships, and employment opportunities. Assistance is available from sources both within and outside the University.
Awards are competitive and many carry specific responsibilities.
The deadline for consideration for merit-based assistance is February 1st for fall semester. The deadline for consideration for need-based assistance is March 1st for summer session, May 1st for fall semester, and October 1st for spring semester. If you register for six credit hours or more per semester, you may pay one-half of your bill at registration and pay the second half by the eighth week of class. The University also offers a 10-month payment plan that allows you to pay the full year's tuition in ten monthly installments.
