Other Details
The work study component of $1,200 allows for 5 hours of work per week for first-year students. For sophomores, juniors and seniors, this component of the aid award will increase to $2,400 to allow for 10 hours of work per week.
Students may choose to replace their work-study eligibility and/or student summer work contribution 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.
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.
Students must maintain full time student status and remain academically eligible to receive this award.
