Policy Regarding Outside Scholarships
Outside scholarships will reduce or replace a student's work study component. Outside scholarships in excess of $2,000 will eliminate the student work study with the amount over $2,000 reducing the amount of the Washington and Lee Grant on a dollar for dollar basis. Outside scholarships may not be deferred to subsequent years.
Policy on Health Insurance
Washington and Lee requires all students to have health insurance. If a student is not covered by an insurance plan, the Washington and Lee grant will be increased to pay for the Washington and Lee student health insurance plan.
Policy on Travel Allowance
Students are allowed a specific amount for travel each year (travel allowance), which is determined by the student's home address. The travel allowance is in addition to the total costs listed above and the Washington and Lee grant will be increased to cover the total amount of this allowance.
Other Details
The work study component of $2,000 allows for 7-8 hours of work per week for first-year students. Students may choose to replace their work-study eligibility with a loan.
The allowance for room and board includes a full meal plan and the average cost of a room on campus. If a student chooses to have a single room, the cost of the room above the average cost of a room on campus will not be covered by the Washington and Lee Grant, and will reduce the amount of money the student has left for books and personal expenses and/or may require the student to contribute towards the cost of the room.
Requirements Associated with Maintaining this Award
Scholarship recipients are required to maintain a 2.7 for both their cumulative and major term GPA. Students not meeting this requirement may face a reduction or loss of their award.
Special Note
The award letter is not official unless it comes from Washington and Lee; the QuestBridge "award letter" does not represent a commitment from the college.
