What is a grant?
A grant is financial aid that does not require repayment. Webster University participates in several need-based federal and state funded grant programs. Failure to maintain the minimum credit hours each semester stipulated on your award letter will result in a revision of your old award based on the number of credit hours and total eligibility. Following is a list of these grant programs which are available at Webster University.
How do I apply for grants?
- The student must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Completed FAFSAs should be forwarded to the Central Processing Agency. The priority application deadline is April 1.
- The student must submit the Webster University Financial Aid Form each year.
