Our Commitment
At Southern Wesleyan University, we are committed to making education a valuable and affordable investment, and the Office of Financial Aid is committed to offering accurate financial aid packages to all our students.
The delay in the FAFSA Simplification rollout has impacted our ability to offer award packages at this time. We anticipate that by mid-April we will award first-year students, and then continuing students after that.
We take a personal approach to financial aid awards, tailoring packages to fit our students’ needs, and we maintain one of the lowest tuition rates in private higher education. We want students and parents to be confident that a SWU education is worth the cost, vocationally as well as spiritually.
The Office of Financial Aid will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates to our students and families.
The 2024-2025 FAFSA is Open
