Financial Aid
One of the Financial Aid Center’s goals is to provide quality service and financial assistance to all  eligible students – new entering freshmen, transfer, continuing and graduate students.
Most scholarships and awards are for a period of one academic year. But some at MUW can be renewed for additional academic years, or until graduation, whichever occurs first. All scholarship recipients must maintain continuous fulltime enrollment and earn at least 24 hours per academic year at MUW and maintain a 3.0 or higher MUW cumulative grade point average. All students may receive more than one type of scholarship to attend MUW. Scholarship awards will be adjusted should the total amount exceed this cost.
