Program Details

Students participating in the Washington Semester Program (WSP) pay regular St. Lawrence University comprehensive fees. The comprehensive fee covers tuition, a triple-occupany room on the Tenley campus, and the "150 Block meal plan plus $300 Eaglebuck."

If you receive financial aid, your normal financial aid is applied. Contact the Financial Aid Office if you would like information about additional loans for extra costs associated with studying on this program.

The fee does not cover:

• transportation to Washington, D.C.
• books
• transportation within, and outside, Washington, D.C.

We estimate the required costs for the Washinton Semester Program to be $1,500 + transportation to Washington, D.C.  This does not include discretionary costs such as entertainment, meals out, souvenirs, and other personal expenses.

Please note that Washington, D.C. is very expensive -- though most museums are free. In CIIS (Carnegie 108), we have information about what students have spent during the semester in the past.

A non-refundable first payment of $500 is to be made upon acceptance. The remaining sum must be paid upon receipt of bills from St. Lawrence University. Participants in a program will have incurred responsibility for the full cost once they have formally accepted enrollment. Refunds will be made in accordance with the policy outlined in the St. Lawrence catalog, minus any money that has been paid out on behalf of the student.
