Washington University Reports Increase in Moderate-Income Students for Class of 2030

Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) has observed a rise in moderate-income students, those from families earning $75,000 to $200,000 annually, for its Class of 2030. This increase, from 15% to 19%, is linked to revised financial aid policies, including not considering primary home equity and replacing need-based loans with grants and scholarships. The changes aim to enhance accessibility and diversify the student body, despite a slight dip in overall applications.
