Student Sponsor Billings

A Student Sponsor is an outside agency, company, State Prepaid Tuition Plan, or other organization that will be paying all or a portion of a student’s tuition and fees. If the Student Sponsor requires a bill or invoice to be mailed directly from the university, a written request must be received from the Student Sponsor prior to the beginning of each academic period.

This letter must be printed on company letterhead and include the following:

• Student’s full name and six-digit university ID number
• The beginning and end date of sponsorship
• The type of fees covered by the sponsorship (tuition, health insurance, housing, meal plans, etc.)
• A statement that the sponsor will make the payment payable to Washington University and that the payment will be sent directly to the university.
• Sponsor’s billing address, contact number, and signature of authorized official.

The authorization letter can be sent by email to Student.Accounting@wustl.edu or mailed to:

Washington University in St. Louis
Attn: Student Accounting
MSC 1147-414-355
7425 Forsyth Blvd
St. Louis, MO 63105-2161

Once the sponsor’s letter is received, a credit with the name of the sponsor and the amount the sponsor has indicated will be applied to the student’s account. An invoice for this amount will be sent to the sponsor. If the sponsor does not pay the invoice in a timely manner, the credit will be reversed, and the student will be liable for the unpaid charges. Students will not receive a refund for a credit balance on their account until payment is received by the sponsor.
