There are three basic types of financial aid offered by William & Mary:

• Federal, state and W&M grants
• Federal Direct and other low-interest student loans
• Federal work-study and other student jobs

The application process is the same for all three types of financial aid. Simply fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and we'll figure out your eligibility. There are also additional considerations when applying for graduate and professional programs. 

Grants and Scholarships

Every year the Office of Undergraduate Admission awards merit-based scholarships to outstanding applicants. Take note that a few W&M scholarships require separate applications or nominations. Learn more about scholarships.
