An applicant for financial assistance must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. An applicant for financial assistance must be admitted as an eligible degree-seeking student to the College before financial assistance can be awarded. In most instances, financial assistance from the institution is granted only to students who enroll full-time (12 credits per semester), although assistance from certain federal and state programs may be available to those attending less than fulltime. Financial assistance is generally awarded for the two semesters (i.e., Fall and Spring) of the regular academic year. Students interested in the summer session(s) should discuss summer enrollment plans with the Financial Aid Office at least two weeks before summer term begins. Wesleyan scholarship and grant funds are not available for summer terms. Students receiving scholarships from agencies outside of Wesleyan College are required to advise the Financial Aid Office. Some adjustment of the financial aid originally awarded may be necessary. Students’ financial aid awards will be automatically credited to their accounts after the Drop/Take period of each semester, provided all necessary paperwork is completed (with the exception of student work-study awards). Workstudy awards are paid to the student after the student earns these funds.
