Apply for Financial Aid

Students applying for financial aid are considered for all programs for which they are eligible. The amount of financial aid awarded is generally a combination of scholarships, need-based aid, student employment, and loans. It is based on the qualified financial need as determined primarily by the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA).

Admissions and Aid

  • Applying for financial aid typically includes two* steps, filing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and completing the WLC Financial Aid Application.

    FAFSA

    Use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form available at studentaid.gov. You can complete the FAFSA beginning October 1 of the year prior to your intended enrollment (or October 1 of your senior year of high school).

    What's Next?

    Your Financial Aid Award: A financial aid award letter will be sent to you after your financial aid is determined. Incoming freshmen will receive award letters in the mail starting in December. Transfer students will receive award letters in the mail on a rolling basis. Current students will receive award information via email during the summer.

    Adjustments: If you receive private (non-WLC) scholarships, grants, or loans, you are legally required to report those funds to the Office of Financial Aid. In certain cases, federal and state regulations may require an adjustment to your financial aid award. Adjustments may also be made if there are changes in your family's financial situation during the academic year or if your enrollment status changes.
