Your guide to making college more affordable
Financial Aid Options at Pennsylvania Western University
Worried about how you’ll pay for school?
Our Financial Aid team is here to help make your educational goals a reality.
Our financial aid counselors explore every avenue of student funding including scholarships, grants, loans and student employment to ensure you have the most comprehensive aid package possible.
Your eligibility for scholarships (which do not need to be repaid), in addition to awards you already are considered for at the time of admission, will be determined by filling out one scholarship application when you officially are accepted to PennWest. Our General Scholarship Application allows you to apply once for all scholarships you are eligible for!
Grants typically do not need to be repaid, while loans usually are paid back with interest. Your eligibility for grants and loans will be determined when you file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (commonly known as the FAFSA) at studentaid.gov. Use the code 003316 when you apply.
Campus student employment opportunities also are available. Our students tend to find employment opportunities in the shops, businesses and restaurants near their chosen campus.
We know how hard you work to pay for college; that’s why we work just as hard to make it affordable and worthwhile.
