COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FINANCIAL AID
Should I apply for financial aidYes if you think you need help paying for college we strongly encourage you to apply There is no ldquoincome cutoffrdquo or other simple method of determining whether you will qualify for need-based financial aid In general terms ldquofinancial needrdquo is defined as the difference between what it costs you to attend school and what you and your family can afford to pay
What are the various types of financial aidThere are three main types of financial aid that you can be considered for based on your eligibility grantsscholarships mdash ldquogift aidrdquo which does not have to be repaid work study mdash allows students to work part-time on or off campus and loans mdash students borrow now and repay after graduating or dropping below half-time enrollment
What costs can I use financial aid for during my enrollment at the UWYou can use financial aid to cover expenses that are related to your edu-cation such as tuition and fees bookssupplies roomboard (on and off campus) transportation and other personal expenses that you may incur
How much will I need to borrow That depends on how long it takes to complete your degree your eligibility for other aid besides loans and your personal spending habits For those students who borrowed at the UW campuses last yearrsquos graduating class left with about $21000 in cumulative average loan debt This is below the national average of $30000 borrowed at public schools
Why do I need loans Canrsquot I just use other forms of aidOf course loans should be your last resort for paying for school We do not have enough funds to award grants to all of you so we end up awarding some loans to help you meet your financial need We encourage students to fully utilize grants scholarships and employment wages before consid-ering loans However if you do need to fill a financial gap you can decide how much or how little you want to borrow in loans You can always repay your loans early too without penalty

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FINANCIAL AID
Should I apply for financial aidYes if you think you need help paying for college we strongly encourage you to apply There is no ldquoincome cutoffrdquo or other simple method of determining whether you will qualify for need-based financial aid In general terms ldquofinancial needrdquo is defined as the difference between what it costs you to attend school and what you and your family can afford to pay
What are the various types of financial aidThere are three main types of financial aid that you can be considered for based on your eligibility grantsscholarships mdash ldquogift aidrdquo which does not have to be repaid work study mdash allows students to work part-time on or off campus and loans mdash students borrow now and repay after graduating or dropping below half-time enrollment
What costs can I use financial aid for during my enrollment at the UWYou can use financial aid to cover expenses that are related to your edu-cation such as tuition and fees bookssupplies roomboard (on and off campus) transportation and other personal expenses that you may incur
How much will I need to borrow That depends on how long it takes to complete your degree your eligibility for other aid besides loans and your personal spending habits For those students who borrowed at the UW campuses last yearrsquos graduating class left with about $21000 in cumulative average loan debt This is below the national average of $30000 borrowed at public schools
Why do I need loans Canrsquot I just use other forms of aidOf course loans should be your last resort for paying for school We do not have enough funds to award grants to all of you so we end up awarding some loans to help you meet your financial need We encourage students to fully utilize grants scholarships and employment wages before consid-ering loans However if you do need to fill a financial gap you can decide how much or how little you want to borrow in loans You can always repay your loans early too without penalty
