<p>Interesting information! How can it be that Univ. of Richmond has had an 84% increase over the last seven years?? Others had increase from 40% to 58% over the same time span. Insane!</p>
<p>In order: G.Washington; Richmond; Sarah Lawrence; Keyon; Vassar; Bucknell; Bennington; Columbia; Wesleyan; Trinity-----</p>
<p>"George Washington's $37,820 tuition is 82% of the entire median annual family income of $46,326."</p>
<p>Hope the link works!</p>
<p>With some schools, the sticker price is high but a lot of students receive a tuition discount in the form of scholarships. I have heard that U of Richmond has many scholarships and I wonder if that's the case.</p>
<p>I'm shocked at the size of the increases discussed in this article! Is there any thought/expectation that any of these schools might increase their financial aid to middle class students as has been discussed at a couple of the ivy league schools?</p>
<p>Yes, it's still expensive, but many people do not realize that GW caps its tuition. The tuition you pay as an incoming student is frozen for all four or even more years as long as the student attends continously and full time.</p>
<p>Does anyone else suspect that these schools may be increasing their tuition so that they can afford to give more aid and scholarship money?</p>
<p>U of Richmond garnered a fair amount of attention about this 3-4 years ago. They used to price themselves significantly below most of their peers, and felt that they might be suffering because the low sticker price caused some people to perceive that low price was associated with low quality. They brought their tuition more into line with peers, but offset the increase with large increases in tuition discounting, and became a 100%-need meeting institution.</p>
