Event Details and Registration
Financial Aid Options
Comparing financial aid offers from various colleges can be confusing. Whether it’s understanding your financial aid award letter, or even just the whole process of applying for financial aid, Wheaton is here to help you. The counselors in our Student Financial Services Office are available to answer questions or walk you through the process.
A few important items to note:
Types of aid
Scholarships and grants are awards that you do not have to pay back. Loans do need to be paid back, typically after you graduate or leave college. Work-study is a way to earn money to help pay for school through on-campus jobs.
Merit scholarships
Your acceptance letter from Wheaton indicates any merit scholarship that you may have been awarded. Log in to your applicant portal and review your letter for details.
Need-based aid
You may be eligible for need-based aid (from Wheaton or the federal/state governments). You will need to complete the FAFSA to officially be awarded need-based aid. The school code for Wheaton that you will need to enter on the FAFSA is 002227.
The FAFSA is now available: Even though the federal government delayed the release of the FAFSA this year, it is now available. We strongly encourage completing it as soon as possible. The sooner you complete it, the quicker we can get an official award letter to you.
