How
to Apply for Financial Aid
Step
1. Submit your application
for admission along with your official transcripts and standardized
test results. To be eligible for the most scholarship opportunities,
you are strongly encouraged to submit your application before
January 1.
Step 2. File the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). We highly recommend that you file the FAFSA online www.fafsa.ed.gov.
You and one parent are required to secure Personal Identification
Numbers (PIN) at www.pin.ed.gov.
If you prefer to file a paper FAFSA, see your high school guidance
counselor or contact the Wesleyan Financial Aid Office at 800-343-2374.
West Virginia Wesleyan College's School Code number is 003830.
In order to maximize all of your Financial Aid options we strongly
recommend that all students file the FAFSA before March 1.
The information you submit on the FAFSA determines your eligibility
for the Federal Pell Grant, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant,
state grants, federal loan programs, work-study and many Wesleyan
scholarship and grant programs.
