About us
Need more money?
Even after receiving financial aid, some students need additional money. You may consider a parent loan, or PLUS, or a private, alternative loan.
Regardless, always be sure to file your FAFSA 
every year. Financial aid is the best way to pay for college. Call Bronco Express or visit us on Facebook.
Loans
Western Michigan University participates in federal , private and university-funded loan programs. Loans are an excellent way to finance your education. Undergrad and graduate students and parents of dependent students may borrow money to pay for educational expenses. The money that is borrowed needs to be repaid with a variety of repayment options available. Loan amounts are based on cost of attendance, class level, enrollment status, dependency status, other resources, and for some loans, need.
To determine eligibility for most loan programs, you must file a FAFSA every year.
