of students and/or their families. The George Washington University
realizes that the cost of a GW education may exceed what a family can
contribute. In such cases, GW provides a wide range of financial aid
programs to assist students and families with financing the total cost of
attending our institution. Our goal is to provide every student with the
best possible aid package.
The financial aid offer letter includes a listing of the funds you are eligible
for. The types of financial aid included are merit awards (if selected),
need-based grants, student loans and federal work study. The amount
of financial assistance offered is calculated, based on the data provided
in your FAFSA and CSS Profile. Eligibility for financial assistance is reevaluated annually. To receive assistance or get more information visit
financialaid.gwu.edu.

Monthly Payment Plan
There are a variety of ways to pay your student’s account bill in full; families
can select those method(s) that best meet their needs. Some of these
payment options include:
The monthly payment plan enables students or their authorized users
to pay current fall, spring, and summer semester tuition and fees in four
equal payments per semester. Payments must be scheduled via ACH or
credit card on the 10th of each month in August through November for
the Fall semester, December through March for the Spring semester, and
April through July for the Summer semester. Enrollment is required for
each semester in which you participate in the plan. Only one plan may be
set up for the student per semester. The monthly payment plan option is
interest-free as long as monthly payments are made on time and in full.
Failure to make payment for two consecutive months will result in the
cancellation of the plan and the application of a late fee. Enrollment in a
payment plan is restricted to students registered or planning to register
for courses in the specified semester.
