Financial aid is economic assistance available to help you meet the difference between what you can afford to pay and what it will actually cost to go to college. Almost everyone in one form or fashion. The total amount of money is limited so one is encouraged to apply early. If you wish to apply for financial aid, you must complete all admission requirements and be admitted to the University. All financial aid awards are contingent upon the student's being enrolled, or accepted for enrollment, at the University.
Most awards require that a student be enrolled in a degree program.
The MUW Financial Aid Office administers and coordinates monetary funds from Federal, state, University, and private sources. These funds are provided to insure post-secondary educational opportunities to eligible students. The philosophy of the Financial Aid Office is to attempt to meet the full documented financial need or scholarship eligibility, within funding limitations, for all students who have properly completed the required forms by the specific deadlines. Most families should wait until their Federal Income Tax forms have been filed, since in most cases the total tax withheld on W-2 forms does not equal actual taxes paid. I was told that my file was complete, but now I am told that it is incomplete.
