Financial Aid

Walsh College participates in federal and state financial aid programs and offers scholarships based both on academic achievement and financial need. Policies, procedures, and regulations relating to these areas are published in the Walsh College academic catalog.  

Financial assistance is based upon the following criteria:

Financial Need – A student who demonstrates financial need as defined by the federal government may be eligible to receive financial assistance through federal, state, and/or institutional financial aid programs. These programs include grants, scholarships, and loans. A student must be enrolled on at least a half-time basis to receive federal and state grants and federal loans. A student who is enrolled less than half-time will have grants and/or loans for that term cancelled.

Financial Aid Eligibility – To be eligible for financial aid, a student must:

  • Be a citizen of the United States or an eligible non-citizen
  • Be enrolled in degree or eligible certificate program
  • File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. The FAFSA is available each year typically beginning October 1 for the following academic award year.

New and continuing students are also eligible to apply for scholarships for a limited number of donor-funded scholarships.  

Students who have received a financial aid offer may charge books and supplies from the Walsh College bookstore to their student accounts if they have completed the Walsh College Bookstore Authorization form, available at the time a financial aid offer is made.
