This Friday will know the new tuition cost for 2008/2009, and as U said before, merit scholarships are down from years before, and need base scholarship won’t increase despite higher costs.

From the Student Life campus newspaper:

“Despite a rise in Washington University’s endowment this year, the administration will not significantly increase the amount of money allocated for need-based scholarships. While the University’s endowment at the end of last fiscal year totaled $5.66 billion, only $500 million of that money was used for scholarships.”
