• Housing

  To view where your student is living

  Living on campus offers convenience, safety and community. There are two types of resident halls: community style where students share a suite, and apartment living style where student shave a private bedroom and semi-private bathroom, kitchen and living room. One of the ways Housing & Residence Life offers community is through Living Learning Communities (LLCs). LLCs are where students are grouped with others who have similar interests to encourage new friendships and belonging. LLCs include esports, first-year experience, outdoor adventure and the Latter Day Saint student association. If students don’t want to be part of an LLC, there are still tons of opportunities for engaging with other students and finding belonging while living on campus. Learn more about meal plans, costs, virtual tours and more on the Housing & Residence Life website.

  The Dream Weber program began in 2010 to provide free tuition to students whose annual household income was $25,000 or less. Now, the Dream Weber program provides free tuition and general student fees to students whose annual household income is $50,000 or less.
  
  How is this possible? The Dream Weber program uses a combination of federal and state financial aid and money given to the university from generous donors. The purpose of the Dream Weber program is to help your student complete a college degree — which will improve earning potential throughout your student's life.

  Scholarship Universe

  Scholarship Universe has WSU and approved nationwide scholarships, making it easy for students to find scholarship opportunities that fit their unique situation. The program will match students with potential scholarships based on their profile information and their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information.
