What is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students must file a FAFSA to be considered for most types of financial aid. By completing the FAFSA your eligibility for federal, state and institutional aid is determined (state and institutional aid for WA State residents). You can submit the FAFSA online at studentaid.gov. Make sure when filing to include Western's school code 003802.

All FAFSA applicants are encouraged to review their FAFSA data after submission.  If an error is noted, contact the Financial Aid Department to discuss how to make a correction to your information.
