W&L Grant Aid by Parent Income
Many factors play a part in determining how much aid a student receives. The Grant Aid by Income table below estimates expected contribution based on household income. The table displays actual information based on students enrolling in the W&L Class of 2028 who submitted a complete need-based application and, within the listed household income ranges, what each family was expected to contribute.
Keep in mind that these are sample cases, and each student who applies for aid will be reviewed on an individual basis.
