Financial assistance is a topic that seems confusing and even a little intimidating. But don’t worry…here’s what you need to know.

• Each year at William Woods students receive financial aid in the form of loans, grants, scholarships, or campus employment.

• With financial assistance, the cost of attending William Woods may be less than what you’d pay to go to a state university.

• William Woods is a great value. We ensure average class sizes of 15 students.

• WWU awards scholarships on the basis of academic merit, leadership qualities, athletic success, and campus involvement.

• We’re here to help. Our Office of Student Financial Services staff will answer your questions and address your concerns. Call us weekdays between 8:00 a.m.– 4:30 p.m. or contact us anytime via e-mail.
