A tradition of generosity
Over the last decade, WashU has become a national leader in promoting equitable access to a world-class education. We have made financial aid a top priority because we consider it an ethical responsibility.
What WashU can do
By embracing its well-known moniker ‘WashU,’ the university marks a new way to distinguish itself in higher education.
Sustaining student support in the long term
Changing the world begins with empowering our students. This is why, since I became WashU’s 15th chancellor nearly five years ago, we have made a series of institutional commitments to them.
Opening doors
This spring saw the graduation of the first cohort of the WashU Pledge, the bold scholarship initiative for Pell-eligible students from Missouri and southern Illinois set into motion by Chancellor Andrew Martin at his 2019 inauguration.
George and Carol Bauer Leaders Academy to develop changemakers
WashU alumnus George Bauer and his wife, Carol Bauer, of New Canaan, Conn., have made a $20 million commitment to establish and endow the Washington University in St. Louis George and Carol Bauer Leaders Academy, an innovative new initiative that places values-based leadership development at the center of the WashU experience for all students.
