Financial Aid

Students are admitted without regard to financial need and we offer all the aid we can to every eligible applicant.  The pages in this section are relevant to US citizens. Information for international applicants can be found here.

Over 95 percent of Wooster students receive financial assistance. Most of this aid comes in the form of merit scholarships (over $19 million) and need-based grants (over $6 million), offered to students without repayment obligation.

Student loans (over $5 million) and campus employment opportunities (over $1 million) are the other major forms of financial aid at Wooster.

Timely Tips

• For many applicants, obtaining an early estimate of the family's fair share of college costs can be done simply and quickly through an Expected Family Contribution 'estimator' or more throughly using an EFC calculator.
• Simple and Quick EFC Estimator Finaid.org
• Detailed EFC Calculators: FAFSA 4Caster website
  
• To estimate your eligibility for need-based financial aid at Wooster, subtract your estimated EFC from $44,000 (our estimate of total educational costs for 2009-2010). Learn more about need-based aid at our need-based aid page.
  
• Applicants for admission who are applying for need-based financial aid are
  reminded to complete both the FAFSA and the Wooster supplementary aid
  application preferably by mid-February 2009.
