Helpful information and links for students continuing at Western State College.

Apply for Federal Financial Aid:

Students must reapply for Federal Aid each year using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.  Western's priority deadline is April 1st (Note: you may apply for Financial Aid after April 1st, this is just our recommended date for awarding and ensuring your financial aid is ready by the start of class).

Important things to remember regarding Payment and Financial Aid

 

College Opportunity Fund

If you have received the COF stipend previously, you do not need to reapply.  You may however need to authorize the use of the funds.  Students may authorize the COF when registering for classes at the beginning of each semester or they may choose the 'lifetime authorization' option.  If you forget to authorize while registering you can follow the steps below or come by the Financial Aid Office.

    • To authorize your COF stipend for a term log on to your WOL account and go to "School Resources," "Student Services and Financial Aid," "Student Records," and finally "COF Stipend Authorization."   Select the term you wish to update and check the appropriate box to decline or accept the stipend.
