    • If you have not completed a FAFSA, you will only be eligible for merit-based scholarships and grants.  If you would like to apply for need-based aid, including federal or state aid, then you must complete a FAFSA.
    • If you’ve been selected for FAFSA verification, you must complete that process before you can accept your final award.  Note that the verification process can be lengthy — don’t procrastinate! Contact the Financial Aid office for help (828) 771-2082 or email finaid@warren-wilson.edu.
    • Note that NC residents must complete Residence Determination Service (RDS) before being eligible for NC state aid and the NC Free Tuition program.
    • If you’re receiving students loans, you must complete the loan paperwork before funds can be disbursed.
