All information related to a student’s financial aid is available in real-time on Trailhead. Students can accept or reject federal loans, review their financial aid awards, and view/submit outstanding requirements.
Our financial aid counselors are available without an appointment during normal business hours. They have experience assisting families with changes to their financial situations and helping students with decisions such as dropping classes to protect GPA. We encourage students to stop by or email any question they have so we can help.
Outside Scholarship Payments Go to Financial Aid
Students should report outside scholarships through the financial aid form on our website.
Please have scholarship providers mail the scholarship to Financial Aid and include the student’s name and CWID.

The student’s financial aid record is a closed record and cannot be released to a third party, even with a signature. For specific information about a student record, the student must be present. The Financial Aid Office can answer many questions in a general manner to assist families with understanding the financial aid process, but details must be communicated through the student.
