Institutional Grants
W&J and its generous donors offer a number of W&J College Grants to eligible full-time students, including our Visit Grant, Out-of-State Grant, and to those who demonstrate need for financial assistance.

State & Federal Grants
State and federal grant programs are also available for students who demonstrate need for financial assistance. Complete the FAFSA to see if you are eligible.

Loans
Students should expect to take out some loans to finance their education. But, W&J is a national leader when comparing its low student loan default rate. What this means is you can take comfort knowing that the overwhelming majority of W&J graduates begin high-quality careers right out of school and are able to afford paying back their student loans. We are also a top performer in the U.S. on social mobility, according to U.S. News & World Report.

Estimate Your College Cost
Use the Net Price Calculator to estimate your financial package and your expected contribution. The calculator provides an estimate of the cost of attendance using financial aid and merit award data from the previous year and the information you provide.
Grants & Scholarships
Institutional, state, and federal grants and a number of scholarships can help offset the cost of attending W&J College. Nearly every student receives financial aid from W&J College, and much of that aid is a gift, not a loan, so you're not required to pay it back.
Applying for Financial Aid
Applying for financial aid begins the process of determining your eligibility for aid and identifying programs for which you are eligible. There's no cost to apply for financial aid. Once you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), we can work with you to explore your options.
