Continuing/Returning Students
Continuing/Returning Students
Students continuing at the College must file the FAFSA and submit their supplementary aid application each year to remain eligible for need-based aid. The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) toward college costs is re-calculated each year. This will determine any changes in your eligibility to receive Grants, Student Loans, and Work-study.
For important information on avoiding financial aid scams, please visit Student Aid.
The following should be submitted by April 30, 2013:
- Complete the FAFSA* (Wooster's federal school code is 003037)
- Complete the Wooster Supplementary Aid Application*
*Both Applications are required to be eligible for need-based aid at Wooster.
Because of changes to the FAFSA, the College is NOT requiring copies of 2012 federal income tax returns and W-2 statements with the aid application for continuing and returning students. Tax returns will be requested from families as needed and prior to review of any special circumstances. If your aid application and FAFSA are submitted late, you may receive less aid because of limited funds.
Off-Campus Study
Wooster provides financial aid for students studying abroad. Financial aid information is available for current Wooster students planning on participating in an Off-Campus Study Program.
Need-based Aid Award Notification
If your FAFSA and Wooster Supplementary Aid Application are received by April 30, an award notice will be mailed to your home address shortly after commencement.
