Filling Out the 2020-2021 FAFSA
(for 2020 Fall and 2021 Spring/Summer Terms)

WPCC’s Financial Aid Counselors encourage you to complete the Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA) promptly. WPCC’s priority deadline for submitting the FAFSA is June 1st each year. However, WPCC will continue to process FAFSA applications and award aid to students as financial aid files are completed throughout the 2020-2021 academic year. It’s not too late to complete the 2020-2021 FAFSA for the upcoming 2021 spring and summer terms.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions on campus access, in-person FAFSA Friday sessions have been cancelled for the time being. We will be happy to answer questions about the FAFSA by phone or e-mail. Visit the Financial Aid Office for information on how to contact us.
