<p>How generous with financial aid (especially need-based) is Washington & Lee, historically?</p>
<p>Well, I was told by all the books (Fiske's and such) that they're generous, then told by admissions that they're generous then told by people on this forum that they're generous.</p>
<p>Then I got my fin aid package (for ED) and found out for myself. Yes, they are quite generous.</p>
<p>Note: This is only for American students. Don't expect the same generosity if you're applying as an int'l student.</p>
