Cost, Aid and Scholarships

Scholarships

Every applicant admitted to Olin is automatically considered for merit-based scholarship opportunities. A separate application is not required. Criteria used to assess applicants for scholarships are the same as those used for admissions decisions but at a more competitive level. Learn more by visiting the Apply Now page. Candidates receiving awards are informed of the scholarship decision in writing at the point of admission. 

All admitted applicants who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces are considered for Olin Veterans Association Fellowships. In addition, WashU proudly supports the Post-9/11 GI Bill and is a full participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs determines candidates’ eligibility for this benefit. See all resources for US military veterans

Health Insurance Requirement

Washington University requires all full-time, degree-seeking students to maintain health insurance for the duration of their enrollment.

Students must either purchase the Washington University Student Health Insurance Plan or prove they have adequate coverage through another plan. If you do not demonstrate that you have adequate coverage from another plan, you will be automatically enrolled in the university plan and billed accordingly. Visit Student Health Services to learn more.
