Graduate students accepted into a degree program may apply for financial aid by contacting the Student Financial Services Office in the Student One Stop Center. Non-degree students are not eligible to apply for financial aid funds.
Financial Aid Application Process
All need-based financial aid is determined by the filing of the free application for Federal Student aid ( FAFSA). This system ensures consistency and fairness in awarding financial aid to students with genuine need regardless of race, color, creed, sex, or national origin. Because funds are limited, early application ( as soon as October 1st as possible) is essential. The FAFSA maybe completed electronically on the U.S. Department of Education's website www.studentaid.gov. A new student must be accepted as a degree seeking student to Wilmington College before financial aid can be offer can be determined. When a student's financial aid file is complete, the student one stop center will determine the student's eligibility for grants, work on-campus, and loans. A Financial aid offer notification is sent to the students' Wilmington College email account, if the student qualifies for financial aid.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
Three-month, four-month, and five-month payment plans are available. Students are encouraged to contact the financial aid office to schedule an appointment. For more information contact the bursar’s office at 937-481-2413.

If a portion of a refund remains after returning funds to the appropriate program(s) from which the student received assistance or if the student owes a repayment of non-institutional funds and if there are unpaid charges owed to Wilmington College, the College will automatically credit the student account with this remaining refund amount.
