Financial aid consists of grants and loans. While household income plays a significant role in determining eligibility for grants and loans, it’s not the only determining factor. Most students, if they don’t qualify for a grant, will still qualify for a loan. Therefore, we encourage you to go ahead and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) no matter how much income you have. This way you can make sure you are pursuing all of your options for aid. Visit with a financial aid representative for more details.

To apply for federal financial aid, you need to complete the steps listed below. It is important that you complete these steps as quickly as possible, so your financial aid will be in place before you begin classes.

  • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
  • Request your Official High School be sent to WSU Tech.
  • Complete the Student Data Form online or download PDF.
  • Complete and turn in any other documents the Financial Aid office requests in a timely manner.
  • Communicate with the Financial Aid office, 316.677.9400.

WSU Tech’s school code is 005498.

  • 24 years old by December 31 of the award year

  • Enrolled in a graduate or professional program (beyond a bachelor’s degree
  • Married
