FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION
Cost of Attendance { 6 / 15 / 22 }
Williamson ’ s Cost of Attendance is approved by the college ’ s Board of Trustees each academic year and is published on the college ’ s website ( www . williamson . edu ). The administration strongly encourages all students and their families to visit the college website often as it outlines institutional policies and procedures regarding financial aid and expected student costs . The website also hosts Williamson ’ s Net Price Calculator , which is a tool designed to estimate the cost of attendance and types of financial aid students might qualify for as a college freshman attending school full-time in the upcoming academic year . The Net Price Calculator is typically updated at the beginning of each academic year following the US Department of Education ’ s release of the Pell grant award value .
Williamson posts student itemized Annual Fees and Books and Supplies letters tailored by academic year and trade program prior to the beginning of each fall term . These letters are available on the college ’ s website under the Financial Aid / Cost of Attendance section and within the billing management section of each student ’ s Blackbaud SMS portal . While students should refer to their itemized letter for specific academic fee and program costs , students should anticipate the following estimated initial and recurring costs for the 2023-2024 Academic Year :
• Annual Fees : $ 140
• Enrollment Deposit ( Freshman Only ): $ 200
• Books and Supplies : Varies by academic year and program .
• Optional Student Parking Fee ( Juniors and Seniors only ): $ 175.00 *
* Various student incentives are offered that may lower this cost . See the Blackbaud billing portal for more information .
Students may view their entire billing account through the Blackbaud portal , including their charges , their current balance , and have the ability to make an electronic payment . All students must provide an enrollment deposit which may be returned to the student as outlined within the college ’ s Student Withdrawal process . All Students must provide their own health insurance . Please note that Williamson is not an approved school by the Veterans Administration , hence the college is not eligible to receive GI Bill or Yellow Ribbon program benefits .
Scholarship Eligibility { 6 / 10 / 22 }
All Williamson College students are eligible to receive a Williamson Scholarship which , alongside any Federal Pell and Pennsylvania State Grants ( PA residents only ) received , will defray a student ’ s annual tuition , room , and boarding costs . To qualify for a Williamson Scholarship , all students ( including incoming freshmen ) must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ) for Pell and State Grant ( PA residents only ) consideration . Defined by the US Federal Department of Education as an institutional scholarship , the Williamson Scholarship award amount is calculated only after the value of a student ’ s Pell and State Grant ( PA residents only ) is determined by the completion and submission of a FAFSA form . Students who fail to complete and submit a FAFSA will prevent a Williamson Scholarship from being awarded and must pay the full cost of tuition , room , and board . The college ’ s Financial Aid Office is available to assist students and their families with completing their financial aid applications .
Upon acceptance in the spring of 2024 , all incoming freshmen must attend a Financial Aid Workshop and complete and submit their FAFSA by April 30 , 2024 . Incoming freshmen who fail to accomplish these tasks by April 30 , 2024 , will prevent the Williamson Scholarship from being awarded , resulting in the student paying the college the full amount of tuition , room , and board by May 15 , 2024 ; failure to meet these deadlines will lead to enrollment cancellation .
