HWS takes a collaborative approach in helping you pay for an 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.
We do not charge an application fee, nor do we require standardized test scores.
Apply by Nov. 15 for Early Action and Early Decision, Jan. 15 for Early Decision II and Feb. 1 for Regular Decision.
Merit scholarships are available as well as need-based financial aid. Students interested in need-based aid should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
