The Office of Financial Aid provides services and support to undergraduate students (including transfer students), graduate students and students who are active in the military. Our financial aid experts are here to help you complete applications, find suitable assistance programs and answer any questions you have about financial aid.

Webster awards financial aid packages each academic year, which includes summer, fall and spring terms. For the upcoming academic year, we begin processing award offer notifications in December for prospective students who have been academically accepted and have provided all required financial aid documents.
