Financial Aid Office
The Western Carolina University Financial Aid Office knows that deciding where to pursue your post-secondary education is an important decision, and you have put considerable time and effort into this decision.  It is also important to put time and effort into planning how to pay for your education.  The stress of not being prepared to pay your educational expenses can be a real impediment to your academic success, and it is our hope that this stress can be mitigated as much as possible through this website.
 
Financial aid is available in the form of grants, scholarships, work-study and loans.  The Western Carolina University Financial Aid Office is here to assist you with the process of applying for financial aid.
