Financial Aid is a great opportunity to help you pay your student bill! We encourage all students to apply for Financial Aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Financial aid awards are made after the FAFSA has been received by WSSU and reviewed for accuracy and completeness. The award process may take between four to six weeks to complete based on your specific situation. The WSSU FAFSA code is 002986.

You may be selected for verification, a process that confirms the accuracy of the information you provided on the FAFSA. Selection for verification is determined by the U.S. Department of Education. Please review the verification information included in the Resource section of the Financial Aid website.

Take advantage of the WSSU FATV videos - great resource for all of your questions!

FIVE THINGS you need to know about Student Blue Health Insurance

Admitted students:

• must have health insurance
• are automatically charged for Student Blue
• must enroll in or waive Student Blue coverage
• can access the Student Blue website here

Waive requirements: You must provide proof of other health insurance coverage to waive coverage through Student Blue.  Other health insurance includes coverage under a parent/guardian health insurance plan, coverage under your personal plan, or Medicaid. Student athletes may not waive the health insurance.

Enroll requirements: If you do not meet the waiver requirements, you must enroll in Student Blue Health Insurance

The cost automatically appears on your student bill. If you complete the waiver process, and your waiver is approved, the cost will be removed from your student bill.

Become Immunization Compliant

New students at WSSU are required to meet the North Carolina Immunization Requirements. You will complete this process through Medicat.
