The University announced that undergraduate tuition will increase by $2,330 (3.9 percent) for the 2023–2024 academic year, Feb. 1. This increase marks the highest annual tuition hike since the 2011–2012 academic year. 

Tuition for Washington University undergraduate students will increase from $52,400 to $54,250 for the 2019-2020 academic year.
This 3.5 percent increase, or $1,850, is consistent with the past four years of tuition increases at the University for undergraduate students.

Washington University’s endowment grew by almost $800 million in the last fiscal year, officials said recently. The endowment totals $5.35 billion as of June 30, the end of the fiscal year. Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton said the increase is due to both the return on the University’s investments and donor gifts.

Undergraduate tuition at Washington University will be $39,400 for the 2010-11 academic year, a 4.2 percent increase over the 2009-2010 tuition of $37,800, the administration announced Thursday.
