Financial Aid
The College’s financial aid office is located in Guerin Hall, Room 224. You can also reach staff at (812) 535-5100 or email finaid@smwc.edu.
It is vitally important that you respond to Financial Aid 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.

Mentor Project
To help our baccalaureate degree seeking students who transfer in fewer than 50 hours of transfer credit get a firm foundation in the Woods Online program, we pair them with a mentor, a veteran distance student, to be a source of support during their first semester as they transition into distance learning. If you did not get a mentor and want one, please email online@smwc.edu.
