WE SHARE THE SAME GOAL: TO BUILD THE BEST FUTURE FOR YOU, SO YOU CAN HELP BUILD THE BETTER FUTURE FOR US ALL.

Which is why we offer substantial scholarships and grants - so you can afford the education you deserve.

Use our one-minute calculator to understand what your aid offer could look like.

Calculate your cost

We take a collaborative approach in helping you pay for an HWS education. Our financial aid team will assess your situation individually and work one-on-one with you and your family to create an aid package that make sense. Because college is an expensive endeavor, and you should never feel alone in the process.

Our open-door policy means you never need an appointment. The Financial Aid Office, located within the admissions building, is always accessible to provide guidance, answer questions and assist you in completing necessary paperwork.

95% of students receive merit scholarships or need-based aid. In 2022-23, the average award to students was $44,528. In total, HWS awards more than $65 million in scholarship and grant funding each year.
