Personalized Aid Estimates
ÄûÃÊÊÓƵ is committed to making one of the nation’s top liberal arts educations accessible to students from every financial background. We practice need-blind admissions for all applicants and meet 100% of demonstrated financial need—without loans.
Through our W&L Promise, families with typical assets and incomes below $150,000 receive at least a grant covering full tuition, and those below $75,000 often pay nothing at all for tuition, housing, or meals. But the truth is: most families receive aid. For the Class of 2028, over 60% of students received grant assistance, and the average institutional award, including need- and merit-based aid, was over $71,000.
Wherever you are in your college search, the tools listed below can help you plan ahead with clarity and understand why cost should not be a barrier to the opportunities available at W&L.
