Washington College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Washington College?

Washington College charges the same published undergraduate tuition to Maryland residents and students from other states. For 2024-25, reported full-time tuition was $53,190, with $1,891 in required fees. Those published charges are a starting point, not the amount every student pays after aid.

• Full-time tuition: $53,190.
• Required fees: $1,891.
• Typical annual room and board: $17,916.
• Estimated books and supplies: $912.

Adding those reported categories produces approximately $73,909 for that academic year. It is not a complete personal budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges may add to the total. Students living off campus or choosing a different housing or meal arrangement may have different expenses. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $2,262 per credit hour.

Aid can substantially change the price. The reported average grant award was $42,772, but an average award should not be subtracted from the published price to predict an individual bill. Reported average net prices - cost after grant and scholarship aid for the relevant aided students - varied by family-income band: $22,722 for families earning up to $48,000 and $33,980 for those earning above $110,000. The other reported income bands fell between those figures. Loans can help cover a bill but do not reduce its underlying price.

Washington College students may be considered for institutional merit or need-based assistance, federal grants and loans, applicable Maryland aid, and eligible military education benefits. The reported aid measure indicates that all students in its measured group received some form of financial aid, while 47% used student loans. Applicants should complete the financial-aid forms required for their circumstances and compare the college's itemized aid offer with its full cost-of-attendance estimate, paying attention to grants versus loans and to renewal conditions.

What are the work-study opportunities at Washington College?

Washington College students can seek part-time campus jobs, while eligible students may also qualify for Federal Work-Study through their financial-aid package. Work-Study is a need-based employment program: an award generally permits a student to earn wages through an eligible job, rather than placing the entire award directly on the tuition bill.

Campus positions can offer income and practical experience in offices, academic areas, or student services. Availability, hiring requirements, and schedules vary by position; a Work-Study award is not itself a job guarantee. Students should check the college's student-employment postings and ask financial aid whether their award requires a particular type of placement or permits approved off-campus work.

Career development is related but distinct. The college reports access to career counseling, interest assessment, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, employer events, and alumni networking. An internship may provide experience or academic credit, but Washington College does not require one of every student, and an internship should not be assumed to carry Work-Study wages.
