If you receive any outside scholarships, please let the Financial Aid Office know as soon as possible! All outside scholarship checks should be mailed to directly to the Financial Aid Office:

WWC Financial Aid Office

In most cases the WWC outside scholarship policy allows students to have funds in addition to any financial aid which is awarded by the institution. In situations where a student with an outside scholarship could receive a financial aid package that takes their funding over their total cost of attendance, then WWC would reduce loan eligibility/balances first in order to keep total aid at or under the cost of attendance.  Reductions in WWC institutional funds would only result if all loan eligibility was exhausted. Outside scholarships are earned, and we treat them as a complement to any institutional funding we offer a student. As such, we strongly encourage students to apply for as many outside scholarships as possible!
