Scholarships & Grants
If you have questions about the scholarships and grants available for your program, connect with an advisor at an information session. They can help go over your options!
Book Info SessionWhen you are the recipient of a scholarship or grant, you get funding to go towards your degree that you don’t need to repay except in extreme circumstances (such as withdrawing from school and owing a refund). All kinds of organizations can offer scholarships — from nonprofits to religious groups to private companies. However, in this section, we will focus on government grants and West Coast University scholarships.
Federal Grants
The federal government offers need-based grants, such as the Pell Grant, to qualifying students. The first step to apply is to fill out the FAFSA. If you qualify for a grant from the federal government, it will be included in your financial aid package.
