Financial Aid

Washburn University provides financial assistance through scholarships, grants, college work study, and student loans. Washburn University Academic Scholarships may be available to students with a 3.0 or higher cum. GPA who meet the priority deadline of March 1. In addition, Washburn University academic departments award scholarships to students who have special talents or skills. Contact the appropriate academic department for more information.

Scholarships are awarded for one year and are renewable by applying each year before the March 1 priority deadline. Applications are available in the Financial Aid Office or on the web at www.washburn.edu/financial-aid.

Federal financial aid is awarded for one year with its continuance based upon financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and satisfactory academic progress. Students need to apply yearly by completing the FAFSA after January 1. Students may apply on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov. To receive the best financial aid package, students should have their federal information in the Financial Aid Office by the priority deadline of March 1.
