WOU provides a strong financial aid and scholarship program that annually administers more than $54 million for eligible students. Financial aid is based on the philosophy that the responsibility for financing a student’s education rests primarily with the student and student’s family.
For detailed information about the financial aid application process and aid programs, visit our website at www.wou.edu/finaid/.
Applying for Aid
To be considered for federal and state financial aid at WOU, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students are encouraged to submit their FAFSAs annually as soon after October 1 as possible as some funds are limited and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The FAFSA is completed online at studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa.
Financial Aid Programs
WOU participates in numerous federal, state and institutional programs including:
- Federal Work-Study
- Grants
- Loans
- Scholarships
Tuition and fees entitle the student to: regular instruction; use of the library; laboratory equipment, materials and gymnasium; medical attention and advice at the Student Health Center; and other services maintained by the university for the benefit of students. No reduction of fees is made to students who choose not to use these services.
A regularly enrolled, full-time undergraduate student takes a minimum 12 credit-hour course load. A regularly enrolled, full-time graduate student takes a minimum of 9 credit hours.
Tuition is charged on a per-credit basis. Estimated annual costs other than tuition and fees for a full-time, undergraduate student living away from home, on- or off-campus, for the 2019-20 academic year are as follows:
