Student Publications:

Mentor Project: To help our baccalaureate degree seeking students get a firm foundation in WED, we pair them with a mentor, a veteran WED student, to be a source of support during their first semester as they transition into distance learning.

Financial Aid:  The College’s financial aid office is located in Guerin Hall, Room 106. You can also reach staff at (812) 535-5100 or email finaid@smwc.edu.

It is vitally important that you respond to FA staff emails, requests for papers, tax information, your signature on forms, etc.  Without completing this work, you can’t receive financial aid.

Also, a few helpful tips:

  • Financial aid information is FREE.  Don’t be scammed into paying for financial aid services.
  • Scholarships for adult students are rare.  But you can save money in many ways. 
  • You may be eligible for tax breaks for educational expenses; consult your tax preparer.
