Financial Aid

Financial aid programs at University of the Southwest are funded through a variety of sources. Various financial assistance programs are used to recognize academic, athletic, or special achievement, meet financial needs, or provide self-help opportunities through college work-study programs and parent/student loans.

While it is not possible to guarantee funding to every applicant in need, the financial aid programs at Southwest are designed to assist with the difference between the direct costs (tuition, fees, books and on-campus room and board) of attending Southwest and the student's or parent's own resources as determined by the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Each application is reviewed on an individual basis to determine the amounts and types of financial aid which would best serve the student. All undergraduate students are required to complete and file the FAFSA each year to be eligible to receive financial aid at Southwest.
