Financial Aid
Education is an investment in your future.
The Financial Aid Office at West Coast University is committed to helping you and your family identify resources available to help pay for your education.
Financial Aid Advisors are available at each campus and online to help find the best solution for you, your situation, and your needs.
All students are encouraged to apply for federal financial assistance from outside sources if unable to meet educational costs on their own. WCU participates in several types of Title IV financial aid programs including Federal Pell Grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Work Study, and the William D. Ford Direct Loan programs (subsidized, unsubsidized and PLUS).
