Financial Aid

BW prepares students to become contributing members of society by focusing on a strong liberal arts education and extensive career preparation. Our financial aid program helps make their goals possible.

A college education is one of the best investments anyone can make and financial assistance can help make a BW education a reality. That is why we are doing our best to keep our cost as affordable as possible. We are also committed to working with you and your family to offer financial support in terms of scholarships, grants, and loans from the government and private sources, as well as an array of campus employment opportunities. Nearly every one of our full-time students receives aid, both merit or need-based, in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, work-study, or other awards.

The Financial Aid Office at Baldwin Wallace University also takes great pride in offering electronic enhancements in financial aid processing and in communicating with students through the Internet. That is why it is extremely important for all students to access their BW email accounts on a regular basis for updates and information.

The "Guide to Understanding Financial Aid" may help answer some more complex financial aid questions for current and matriculating students. Important information such as earning Federal Work-Study, Study Abroad/Explorations, and Satisfactory Academic Progress are addressed, as well as a number of other important topics.
