Wichita State Financial Aid

Wichita State Financial Aid Welcome to the official page for the Wichita State Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships! We accept walk-ins and appointments every day.

The Office of Financial Aid (OFA) serves as a resource for all students and families to provide financial aid expertise on a variety of financial aid topics. We have a team of over twenty (20) financial aid professionals that handle things such as: advising, loan processing, Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), financial aid awards and eligibility just to name a few. Our office is equipped with four (4) Financial Aid Advisers to answer your questions on all of the above aspects of your financial aid experience. The OFA not only provides in-house assistance, but also contributes to the campus and surrounding areas by conducting financial aid presentations for middle school, high school and returning adults. You will see us all around from Wichita State New Student Orientation to your high school’s Financial Aid Night. Our ultimate goal is to make the process of understanding and receiving federal and state financial aid easy and user-friendly. Our hours of operation and contact information are:

The train is ready and you can’t board without a ticket. Create your FAFSA ID today so you’re ready to leave the station! 🎫

What you’ll need:
o Full legal name
o Personal email
o Social Security Number
o WSU School Code: 001950

⚠️ Don't mix up you and your parents’ FSA IDs. This is one of the most common errors. That's why it is important for each person to create their own FSA ID and not share it with anyone.
