Financial Aid

Student Services can assist students in applying for state and federal aid programs. State and Federal governments, PWSCC, and many private organizations offer grants, scholarships, loans, and employment opportunities to students who demonstrate need for such assistance. Each student’s financial situation is carefully assessed, taking into consideration family size, assets, income, debts, and estimated costs of attending college. Types and amount of financial aid vary according to State and Federal guidelines, student’s needs, and availability of funds.

Application Procedures

Interested students should contact the Office of Student Services for information and applications. Students should submit applications at least 6 months before the beginning of the semester for which they are applying. For the upcoming fall semester, the Office of Student Services should have received completed applications and required additional forms by June 1st at the latest. Applications received after this date will be considered if funds are available. Specific procedures are as follows:

1. New students must first apply for formal admission to PWSCC.
2. All interested students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit the application to the Department of Education. List UAA’s Title IV code on FAFSA (011462). We recommend you apply on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. It is faster and more accurate.
3. Students who wish to apply for a specific scholarship may complete special applications available at the Office of Student Services.
4. Students who wish to apply for Bureau of Indian Affairs grants or scholarships should contact the BIA or their Native Regional Corporation for applications.

Eligibility

To be considered for financial aid a student must:

1. Have a high school diploma or its equivalent.
2. Be accepted for admission.
3. Demonstrate financial need for federal assistance as determined by the federal Student Aid Report (SAR).
