Financial Aid Makes the Difference

Financial aid is the combination of grants, scholarships, loans and work-study programs that make higher education possible for most students and families. While it's natural to worry about how to pay for college, by the time financial aid is considered, you could actually pay less out-of-pocket to attend WWU than any other Adventist or private college—or even a state school.

Who gets financial aid?  Almost everyone.  Approximately 80 percent of WWU students qualify, and the average annual award is almost $22,000.  So even if you think you won't be eligible, apply anyway—for three good reasons:

• It's free, and not as complicated as it looks.
• It's the same federal form for every college and university.
• It's the only way to get financial aid.
