While it is not possible to guarantee funding to every applicant in need, the financial aid programs at Southwest are designed to assist with the difference between the direct costs (tuition, fees, books and on-campus room and board) of attending Southwest and the student's or parent's own resources as determined by the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Each application is reviewed on an individual basis to determine the amounts and types of financial aid which would best serve the student. All undergraduate students are encouraged to complete and file the FAFSA each year to be eligible to receive federal financial aid at Southwest.
