Financial Aid & Scholarships

Yes, you can afford college

Washington State University awards millions of dollars in financial aid and scholarships to students every year based on financial need, academic merit, or a combination of the two.

To assess what college might cost you personally, see the WSU financial aid estimator and net price calculator.

Find the funding for you

Nearly everyone is eligible to receive some form of financial aid. Take these steps to get started:

1. File the FAFSA or WASFA

The FAFSA will help determine your eligibility for federal student aid. If you are an undocumented student, file the WASFA.

File your FAFSA in October every year. The WSU school code for all campuses is 003800.
