Invest in Yourself.
Did you know that the typical college graduate earns between 70-80% more than a typical high-school graduate, and those with advance degrees earn two to three times as much as high-school graduates? An investment in yourself is a valuable one.
At SMWC, our Financial Aid staff is here to help you find the resources you need to finance your education. Distance education students can take advantage of Stafford Loans, Federal Pell Grant and State Grants, as well as grants and scholarships from outside sources.
Financial Aid is Available!
Almost all part-time and full-time students are eligible to receive financial aid benefits. You are eligible for financial assistance when you are enrolled in at least 6 credit hours of classes. Two Woods Online classes (8 week), or two Woods Online classes (16 week) will qualify you for part-time financial aid.
To learn about financing a private college education please see our Financial Aid FAQs.
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Tuition Promise ensures tuition for incoming campus students will remain the same for four years. Learn more about our promise to you.
