FWS is aid to students who have financial need and work on-campus. FWS must be earned, and will be paid out as work is completed. If you are eligible for FWS, you will be notified on your award letter of your eligibility. If you choose to work and find a job, you can notify us and we will add the award to your financial aid package. In addition to on campus jobs, you can tutor school children in reading and receive FWS money.
Maximum awards vary yearly.
Private scholarships available to students who apply. Application and list of scholarships are available through the Financial Aid office or on OSSC's web site. All academic scholarships are renewable if the student maintains a 3.3 cumulative GPA at Western. These scholarships are awarded to new students. A New Student Achievement Scholarship Application must be received by the Financial Aid office by March 1 to qualify .
