SWOSU understands that financing a college education today is challenging, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. SWOSU is proud to pay out $30 million in student financial aid to over 70% of our student body. We want you to attend SWOSU, and we’re happy to help you make it happen.

Financial Aid Opportunities for Students

Financial aid for college opportunities are designed to supplement yours or your family’s contribution to the cost of education. While financial aid can’t totally replace family contributions, SWOSU is dedicated to creating a financial aid package that will meet your needs.

Here are some of the financial aid options available to prospective students:

Stafford Student Loans
Tuition Aid Grants
Federal Work Study

Student Financial Services is here to help students.

The SWOSU Bulldog Angels Fund was established in 2014 to benefit SWOSU students in times of crisis. It is meant to be a vital resource when all other options for assistance are exhausted or unavailable; indeed, the Bulldog Angels Fund may mean the difference in a student being able to continue learning at SWOSU, or having to leave campus due to external financial pressures. The application should be completed by any student who is seeking relief from the fund, and may be returned to the Burton House of any of the offices listed below. It is important to note that application to the fund does not guarantee an award. Also, please note that a student may only receive the Bulldog Angels Fund awarded once during his/her time at SWOSU.
