Like all colleges, WCC offers financial assistance to prospective students.  WCC asks each family to make the maximum effort to pay the costs of tuition, room and board, but many cannot afford these costs in their entirety.  To obtain qualified and enthusiastic students, WCC has a financial assistance program consisting of merit scholarships, work-study scholarships, and a few outright grants.  Until WCC's Endowment grows to a sufficient level, scholarship funds will be raised annually from friends and supporters of WCC.
