Financial Assistance


Welcome to the Office of Financial Assistance

The primary purpose of financial aid is to provide resources to the students who would otherwise be unable to pursue a post-secondary education. At UIW, we believe that all students should be able to attend the university that best suits their academic and personal needs.

The Federal School Code is 003578.

The UIW priority deadline is April 1st each year.

The OFA provides a Resource Center inside the office.

This year the OFA awarded financial assistance to over 9000 students

You can apply for assistance online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

UIW has over 80 study abroad programs and financial aid is available!

OFA Advisors are accessible by e-mail, telephone or walk-in counseling.

6 out of our 10 office members graduated from UIW.

Approximately 90 percent of UIW students receive some form of financial assistance.

Almost 3000 students receive Pell Grant money at UIW.

UIW will spend over $120 million in total aid programs (grants, scholarships, work-study, loans).

UIW awards over $55 million in grants and scholarships.

87% of full-time undergraduate students receive need-based aid.

UIW provides more than $24 million in UIW academic scholarships.
