Weber State University provides millions of dollars in financial aid and scholarships each year.
Please become familiar with important deadline dates and information found on WSU’s Scholarship Page: https://weber.edu/financialaid. This link includes 2 important links (FAFSA and Specialized Scholarship Application). These are required before being considered for ANY scholarships affiliated with Weber State University.
PLEASE NOTE:
There is often confusion as to the difference between a full time program and full time credits. If a scholarship or financial aid requires a student to be “full-time”, that equates to a full time credit load. Credit loads are defined as follows:
- Full time = 12 credits
- 3/4 time = 9 credits
- 1/2 time = 6 credits
To obtain FULL Pell Grants you must be enrolled full time credit load (12 credits), not be in a full time program. Pell Grants are adjusted each semester based on the amount of credits students are taking if not enrolled full time (see above).
Nursing is a full time PROGRAM, not a full time credit load. There are many relevant classes a student can add to their schedule to qualify for a “full time credit load” while in the Nursing program. There are resources to help students with those classes such as those found at this link: https://bit.ly/3Rpfsqk
