We understand that one of the biggest factors...
in determining which school a student will attend is cost. Wilkes works closely with families to make education a reality.
Here are some tips for making the financial aid process work for you.
- Submit an application for admission to Wilkes. We can't make a financial aid award unless you have been admitted to the University.
- Apply early -- as soon after January 1 as possible. We award financial aid on a first-come, first-served basis. The sooner you apply, the better your chance of receiving grants and scholarships from Wilkes.
- Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available in our office or online. The processing time for the online application is faster than the paper version.
- Remember these tips:
- The Wilkes University school code is 003394. Use this on the FAFSA.
- Call us if you have questions; our help is free.
- Sign and date the FAFSA.
- If you complete the paper FASFA, send ONLY your FAFSA in the FAFSA envelope. Anything else will be destroyed.
- Watch for your financial aid package in the mail. Once Wilkes receives your FAFSA results (four to six weeks after you submit it), we'll send you an award letter outlining your aid package, which will probably include a combination of grants and scholarships, loans and work eligibility.
