Win a Visa gift card!!
What most students and their families don’t realize about Washington & Jefferson College is that tuition only covers about 68 percent of the cost of a W&J education. Where does the rest of the money come from? Alumni, parents and friends!
Each year, gifts to W&J through the W&J Fund support the daily operations of the College including special programs, guest lectures, athletic equipment, travel costs, utilities, and repairs. Without these gifts, tuition would need to increase, on average, $9,000 per year. That is a huge annual investment in our students!
February 19, 2013, is Tuition Freedom Day and marks 68 percent of the way through the school year. The rest of the school year is paid for by the W&J community of donors. To celebrate, educate and acknowledge the generosity of others, we are hosting our annual student video contest.
