Students can avail of scholarships provided by the college, such as Art and Helen Nickless Scholarship, Auburn Jaycees Education Scholarship, Bay City Civitan/Marcella Barber Scholarship, and Bay City Kiwanis Educational Scholarship, if they find educational expenses to be on the higher side. It is interesting to note that, every year, a substantial number of students at WC receive some kind of financial aid, and the total amount of the assistance/loans provided stands at $3,142,500. And, for the Pell Grant awardees, the average aid amount is $5,236. The annual family income of a candidate is one of the key factors in determining their total eligibility for financial aid. Apart from financial grants and scholarships, candidates can also avail of monetary benefits like student loans to fund their education. In contrast to grants and scholarships, student loans are taken by the candidates at a certain rate of interest. Moreover, the funds received through these loans will have to be repaid within a given timeframe.
