Scholarships for graduate students

West Chester University offers scholarships to help graduate students save money and reduce the need for student loans. University admittance through The Graduate School is required in order to apply for scholarships. However, students are welcome to search for scholarship opportunities on the WCU General Scholarship Application at any time. Keep in mind that not all applications are available at the same time, so it is important to periodically check for any updates. Questions regarding the scholarship website or the scholarship process in general can be directed to the Office of Financial Aid at 610-436-2627 or finaidsch@wcupa.edu.
