A STELLAR EDUCATION WITHIN REACH

WE SHARE THE SAME GOAL: TO BUILD THE BEST FUTURE FOR YOU, SO YOU CAN HELP BUILD THE BETTER FUTURE FOR US ALL. That’s why we take a collaborative approach in helping you pay for an HWS education. Our financial aid team will work with you and your family to create an aid package that makes sense. We award substantial scholarships and grants – close to $60 million each year – so you can immerse yourself in the HWS experience, and afford it, too.

NEED-BASED AID Need-based aid can consist of grants, loans and/or workstudy provided by federal, state or institutional funds. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only required aid application at HWS. Whether or not you think you will qualify, we recommend submitting the form to determine your eligibility.

Our school code is 002731. If interested, please submit the FAFSA by the appropriate admissions application deadline: • •
