Office of Financial Aid

At Winthrop we believe that higher education should not be a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. The Office of Financial Aid is committed to helping Winthrop students find appropriate ways to finance their education. More than 60 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid. What that means is that a quality education at Winthrop could cost much less than you think.

Winthrop offers a comprehensive program of student financial assistance including scholarship, grants, student loans, and employment.  Use the information provided here to assist you in your college planning. You will find explanations of the programs of assistance as well as procedures for applying for scholarships and other financial aid.

Through our links to other sites, a wealth of information is available to you, including calculators to estimate your family's eligibility for aid and several scholarship database searches.
