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 the CSS Profile (for new undergraduate students).  When we get your applications, we'll figure out your eligibility.

There are also additional considerations when applying for graduate and professional programs. 

Grants and Scholarships
