Application Process for Financial Assistance
It is imperative the Admissions process is completed in a timely manner. A student must be accepted for Admissions before Financial Awards can be determined. The student’s financial aid file must be complete prior to early registration in order to insure no delays in receiving financial assistance for which the student is eligible.
Forms for financial aid are available in Student Affairs, Financial Aid Offices or on this website.
Applicants for financial assistance must complete and submit the following:
- A current application for admission to WGTC.
- High School, GED and all previous college transcripts.
- Apply on-line for the HOPE Grant/Scholarship if you are a Georgia resident at www.GAcollege411.org
Or - Apply for the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) for all students applying for federal aid (PELL, ACG, FSEOG, FWS) and/or state aid (HOPE) at www.fafsa.ed.gov, which must be renewed yearly.
If a student is chosen for verification, he or she must complete and submit all financial aid forms requested in order for his or her financial aid paperwork to be considered complete. Verification requires a copy of the student’s, his or her parents’, and/or his or her spouse’s signed Federal Income Tax Form along with additional verification forms that may be required before the financial aid file is complete.
A student’s financial aid award package is determined annually and is based on the student’s current estimated family contribution, cost of attendance, state residency, and other specific financial aid eligibility requirements. Once a student’s financial aid award package is complete, he or she will be notified via mail or student e-mail of their financial aid award.
