financial aid package

<p>I just got my financial aid package today.
on it were three columns, how much for fall, spring, and total. does the total amount mean how much ur getting in a year?
and can i use this only for tuition or for board and all that tooo? and does anyone know approxiamtely what the tuition for the 2010-2011 year?</p>

<p>According to the GW Hatchet, the tuition for the incoming class (class of 2014) will be $42,860. Of course tuition is only part of the total expense.</p>

<p>They apply your financial aid to your total bill, each semester. Then you pay the balance. Your total bill includes, tuition, room and board, fees, library fee and couple of other things. They will then deduct each of the types of aid your receive and accept. The total is the entire year, but it is given to you by semester as you are billed by semester.</p>
