IMPORTANT DETAILS FOR NEED BASED & MERIT RECIPIENTS 2009-2010

This information is designed to acquaint you with the various aid programs administered by The George Washington University and to share with you the answers to questions most frequently asked by students and their parents. Hopefully, you will find this information helpful in understanding your financial aid award. Above all, carefully read your award notification for special instructions or personalized information included in the notification itself.

We do understand the financial obligations a family undertakes when a student enrolls at The George Washington University. We know some families will find it easier to handle that obligation if they can spread out their payments or borrow, so we have also included sections on University Payment Plans and Financing Options for your convenience.
