The School of Business offers a wide range of financial assistance to its students. These can be divided into three categories: Merit-based Scholarships and Fellowships, Graduate Assistantships, and Research Assistantships.

The School of Business automatically considers all applicants, both domestic and international, for merit-based awards that provide for partial tuition support. The selection process is highly competitive, and awards are made solely on the basis of merit and availability of funds. In addition, both new and CURRENT STUDENTS are considered for a number of merit-based scholarships and fellowships that have been provided to the School by private donors.

Student Loans

Most student loans are based on either financial need or creditworthiness and are available only to US citizens and permanent residents. Although GW students use loans such as Federal Stafford Loan Program, Alternative Education Loans, and the ACCESS Loan Program most frequently, other loans are available.

One form required by all federal programs is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
