HOW TO APPLY
three easy steps

STEP 1 - APPLICATION

All students receiving federal or state funds MUST fill out an online WSU specialized scholarship application EVERY YEAR. It is generic information and only takes about 10 minutes to complete.

COMPLETE APPLICATION
STEP 2 - FAFSA

Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Completing a FAFSA application allows students to be eligible for subsidized school loans (at lower interest rates) and also gives them a "need" rating which is important for private scholarship opportunities. Don't let the word "need" throw you - the government has goofy formulas and you honestly will not know if you qualify for a private financial-need scholarship unless you fill out the FAFSA. And there are lots of private scholarships out there to be had if you only fill out the form!

COMPLETE FAFSA
STEP 3 - WAIT FOR REPLY

Wait to be contacted regarding scholarship awards. If additional information or items are needed, you will be contacted directly and given an opportunity to provide that for further consideration. Most scholarships are awarded and contacted over the summer; however, a few privately funded scholarships are not awarded until August.
