WIU-QC Offers In-State Tuition

The in-state tuition rate has been extended to all qualifying (domestic) incoming undergraduate students. All incoming domestic graduate students will also be offered the in-state graduate tuition rate.

Scholarships and Grants

Scholarships and grants are basically gifts which you don't have to pay back. However, they are often awarded based on financial need or on some type of merit. The trick is to figure out what you're skilled at, and seek out scholarships that find merit in that particular skill. In addition, scholarships and grants may also be awarded based on the career that you are pursuing (for instance teaching or science). Lastly, your local community, associations and organizations may award scholarships because you happen to live in their geographical area.

Tuition and Fees and Other Costs

Tuition and fees are assessed per-credit-hour and billed at the beginning of each semester.

Use the online Cost Estimator to estimate cost for the semester. The cost estimator is not a bill and does not replace any bill you may receive. It is merely intended to provide you with an estimate of what your charges might be.

Financial Assistance >>

Information and resources about financial aid and scholarships are available to all students to help meet their educational goals. More than 75 percent of WIU students receive some kind of financial aid, so it is worth your while to explore your financial aid opportunities. Here is a road map to get you started.

File for Federal Student Aid

Everyone should go online and fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid: www.fafsa.ed.gov. Many other scholarships, grants and loans are based on the federal government's calculations from this form.
