Admitted Guides: Fall LP Due Dates

Submit Your Financial Aid Application

Strongly encouraged
More Info

Financial aid is available to help meet the costs of tuition, books, educational supplies, housing and meals, transportation, and personal expenses. 

To be considered for financial aid, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA), which becomes available each year on October 1*. Your FAFSA or WASFA must be submitted by April 1 (Western’s priority filing date) to be considered for the most favorable financial aid. Washington state residents ineligible to complete the FAFSA due to immigration status may apply for state financial aid by completing the WASFA.

*Please note: For the 2024-2025 academic year, the FASFA and WASFA became available on December 31, 2023.
