WNMU financial aid program provides assistance to students in need and/or performance based situations.
The need-based assistance consists of grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships.
The application process is the same for all the above. Follow the steps outlined below to apply.
The decision of how much aid the student may get is based on a U.S. government formula which calculates the amount support needed minus what the student's family should be able to provide.
The performance based financial assistance consists of scholarships and work-study and is entirely based on a student’s academic, athletic or artistic skills.
Follow the links in the bottom frame of this page to see what aid is available. Note the names of the applications for the aid suitable for the student.
Contact the WNMU Financial Aid Office for advice by phone at: 575-538-6173
