"For many Washington University alumni and students, their time of learning was directly subsidized by scholarship funds, gifts from alumni and friends that enable the University to enroll the finest and most promising young people to be found anywhere, regardless of their financial circumstances."
MARK S. WRIGHTON
Chancellor
"Scholarships transform lives. Many deserving students just need an opportunity to turn their extraordinary potential into achievement. Their future is our future — and a scholarship is an investment that benefits us all for years to come."

Washington University in St. Louis is known as a destination for the most academically gifted, creative, and imaginative students our nation — and the world — have to offer. The University is committed to enrolling promising students from all economic, ethnic, and social backgrounds to strengthen the educational environment for all, and achievement in this area will set Washington University apart from other research universities.
That is why we, who are following on the previous generations who helped establish Washington University's financial security, must now add to it; in this case, to build the financial resources needed to attract and retain the most promising students.
