Exploring Your Options for Paying for College

Webster University understands our students need federal and state aid when it comes to paying for college, which is why we offer several financial aid options to help cover the cost of tuition, housing, supplies and other expenses.

This guide provides information about several types of financial aid available to bridge the gap between the cost of attendance and the amount you can afford to pay, known as the Student Aid Index (SAI). Your SAI is determined after evaluating the information you provide on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

For maximum gift aid and student employment assistance consideration, please make sure your FAFSA application file is completed by March 1, 2024, which is Webster's priority FAFSA deadline for the 2024-2025 academic year.
