We can be reached at: 724-223-6019.
The Bottom Line
The Bottom Line Form will help you compare costs and aid awards between W&J and three other schools. See your official financial aid award letter(s) for cost listings and award breakdowns and amounts.
Cost of Attendance Adjustment Form
Use the Cost of Attendance Adjustment Form to request an increase in your budget to allow you to borrow to cover additional educational expenses such as a Jay Term trip or a computer.
Summer Aid Request Form
Use the Summer Aid Request to request financial aid for summer classes. Additional institutional aid is not available for summer courses; however, you may be eligible for PA State Grant, Pell Grant, federal Direct student loans, or you may apply for a private loan. Your parent may also apply for a federal PLUS loan as long as you are enrolled at least half-time. If you wish to use federal aid during the summer term (Pell grant, PLUS or federal Direct student loan), your financial aid must be processed before the last day of classes of the summer term.
FAFSA on the Web
The FAFSA On The Web Worksheet is available to help you collect the information needed to accurately complete your FAFSA before you submit your application.
Financial Aid Verification Worksheet
If your FAFSA was selected for review through a process called verification, please complete this worksheet in its entirety and sign where indicated. Return this form to the Office of Financial Aid at Washington & Jefferson College. A financial aid representative will review the information and make any necessary corrections to your FAFSA.
If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 724-223-6019 or finaid@washjeff.edu.
PLUS Pre-Application
Students must now complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order for a parent to apply for a PLUS loan. A biological parent who wishes to borrow a PLUS Loan and is not the parent listed on the FAFSA must complete the PLUS Pre-Application Form in order for an aid representative to verify his/her relationship to the student. In addition, a Direct PLUS Loan Request and MPN must be completed on www.studentaid.gov by the borrower.
GRE Fee Reduction Certificate
If you will be taking the GRE, contact Kevin Totty in the Office of Financial Aid to see if you are eligible for a fee reduction.
