Vindication!

And soon we can expect Pink Cashmere Hall of Fine Arts.......keep donating peeps!

Despite falling another slot in the U.S. News & World Report's list of top colleges, GW remains a leader in the financial aid section of the survey - a statistic that administrators seem hesitant to promote.

In the 2008 issue of U.S. News & World Report's top colleges, released in late August, GW's need-based financial aid package was ranked No. 1 in the country - beating out Ivy League schools such as Harvard and Columbia universities.

The list is ordered by the average need-based package per student, which is $33,809 at GW.The ranking comes only several months after GW announced it was the first school to surpass a $50,000 price-tag for tuition, and necessary expenses. Many national media outlets covered the news this year, though few mentioned GW's high financial aid packages.
