Cost is not a barrier to a WashU education
WashU’s creative payment plans and financing options help manage the cost of our education. We have several simple, innovative and flexible payment and financing programs designed to help you manage your college investment.
Partners in Education with Parents (PEP)
Our PEP program is among the best parent financing programs in the country, and is financed and managed by the university. We work closely with our students and their families to continually improve these offerings and provide an attractive set of payment options.
Installment Plan
This plan allows students and their families to spread all or part of a single academic year’s expenses into convenient monthly payments.
