Financial Resources

This service is responsible for student payment for college. Payment options are from loans,
grants, scholarships or out of pocket. Students are advised to apply for a FAFSA online which
helps with the cost of payment for college. A FAFSA is an application that determines a familys
expectancy of payment to the college. This application will estimate eligibility for financial aid.
Once a student enters WOUs information and sends it to the school, financial resources will
look to see if the student is able to be awarded financial aid. Financial aid will be awarded to a
student and will either be denied or accepted. If accepted, funds will be disbursed to the student
to cover expenses like tuition or learning materials. There are many loan options to cover the
cost of school available as well. Students can learn more about these loans when they contact
the financial aid office. Scholarship and grant options are also available. Scholarships and
grants have specific criteria that needs to be met and money from these aids do not need to be
paid back. Students will apply for scholarships and grants and will be turned in and reviewed by
financial resources by a certain deadline. These aids are based on need and based on a
student and or their families financial circumstances. Faculty may also be involved in the
financial resource department by needing to turn in a letter of recommendation of an exemplary
student they feel deserves a certain scholarship or grant. Faculty receives payment from the
financial resource department and their wages are dependent on student administration by
having students to teach. Lastly, financial resources is responsible for students payment
options. These may involve loans, scholarships, grants, financial aid or checks. A student can
pay their tuition online as well as in person at the financial aid office.
