Financial Aid
Creating an Affordable Wake Forest
The mission of Student Financial Aid is to provide the financial resources needed for enrollment by a socio-economically, ethnically and geographically diverse student body. We are committed to helping students with an appetite for rigorous work and a dynamic community, as well as the ability to intellectually challenge our teacher-scholars and each other.
Wake Forest meets 100% of demonstrated financial need.
We work to make it financially possible for students who are committed to philanthropy, service, friendliness, honor, and living Pro Humanitate to enroll at Wake Forest.
Priority Filing Dates
- The FAFSA and CSS Profile are available beginning October 1, 2021.
- Wake Forest’s priority filing dates for prospective students to submit the FAFSA, CSS Profile, and federal income tax documents are November 15 (Early Decision) or January 1 (Regular Decision, Early Decision II).
Scholarships
Wake Forest offers a limited number of merit-based scholarships. These scholarships, among the highest honors given to WFU students, are renewable for up to 4 years, subject to satisfactory academic, extracurricular, and civic performance.
Need-Based Aid
Most financial aid at Wake Forest is determined on the basis of a family’s demonstrated financial need. Aid applications are reviewed by financial aid professionals.
