Financial aid

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 you would for any other private college or even a state school.
