Apply
Applications for Fall 2025 opened August 1st. You can pick between our Washington College application and the Common App. The choice is yours! Your assigned admissions counselor will be the first person to read your application. At Washington College, there is no screening formula for evaluating applications. We know you’re unique and deserve to be treated that way.
Financial Aid & Scholarships
A private education is within reach. We’re committed to helping you finance your Washington College education with generous merit-based scholarships and attentive financial aid counselors. In 2023, 100% of incoming students received institutional aid.
Majors & Minors
Washington College knows that when it comes to education, one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why our modern liberal arts program has so many options for you to create your own compelling class schedule and work toward a major that truly inspires you. Because we value exploration, you don't have to declare a major until well into your second year. Double majors and multiple minors are encouraged, too.
