Financial Aid Overview for Alumni

Midwestern University administers federal, state, and private sources of financial aid. All students seeking financial aid must meet general eligibility requirements regarding citizenship, financial need, and satisfactory academic progress. Our financial packages may include several sources of aid, including work study, scholarships, grants, and loans.

Financial aid counseling and accounts receivable transactions can be completed by walk-in or by scheduling an appointment with the office. Call us with your financial aid and/or accounts receivable related questions. Or e-mail one of our staff members.
