Financial Aid

Alongside federal aid, Wayland has state aid programs that supplement financial need at a private university for students who are determined TX residents. These funds cannot be used at an out-of-state institution of higher learning. Wayland's Financial Aid Office has resulted in financial assistance for over 95% of our full-time students.
