Wichita Area Technical College (WSU) Financial Aid and Scholarships
Most students require financial assistance for many good reasons. WSU Tech ensures that they meet the appropriate authorities who will help them dissect their needs, and direct them to secure the appropriate form of fund with which they may fund their own education. Depending on the candidate’s application and eligibility, they will be open to special benefits or offers, from scholarships to grants.

Grants
WSUTech offers federal grants to students through the Pell Grant, which is aimed towards the financially needy. Although the grant does not need to be repaid (so long as your eligibility remains valid), you must submit a filled FAFSA application form.
Aside from the federal grants, WSU Tech also provides the Trade School Future-TheFuture Mechanic Grant; an institutional grant that is catered to the potential of future mechanics. Automotive workers are in high demand as of late, and each year, such grants are offered to students who want to become a mechanic and plan to join a vocational school to pursue that career. The grant is a one-time financial gift, with its amount varying from student to student.
Not much has been provided on grants publicly by the university, but you may contact their representatives anytime to gain access to additional information on them.
Loans
-
Direct Loans: Students must enroll in at least 6 credit hours per semester to receive these loans.
-
Private Loans: Private loans are granted based on your credit score. It is recommended to bring in a cosigner. There are two ways which you can take up a private loan:
-
WSU Tech Payment Plan: This plan allows you to pay the loan in monthly installments. No additional charges are made, including interest, but a down payment at the time of application of the payment plan, along with a non-refundable USD$30 enrollment fee each semester.
-
Tax Credits:
-
For Americans who need to work extra hard to meet their basic financial goals can take up the Earned Income Tax Credit program for a good financial boost.
-
The Child Tax Credit is a program that reduces the tax for each of your children who qualify to as much as USD$1,000.
-
Education tax can shake up the education costs a bit as well. The American Opportunity and the Lifetime Learning Credit are education credits that are not only deductible from a taxable income, but are also fully subtracted from the federal income tax.
-
-
Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS): A parent may apply for a loan to help their child with educational expenses and costs. It is the former’s responsibility to repay the loan in time. In order to find out about the eligibility, the parent will have to complete the PLUS application and pre-approval. The Financial Aid Office will assist the parent with any matters or questions.
