Financial Information

For EMU students, WCSC tuition is the same as on-campus tuition, and is paid to the EMU Business Office in the same way as any other semester. Room and board is the same as on-campus room and board. Commuter students should factor the cost of on-campus room and board into their financial planning for their WCSC semester.

All scholarships and financial aid follow you to DC (with the exception of summer term).  Furthermore, if you are workstudy eligible and come to the WCSC during the fall or spring semester, you can receive workstudy as you would on campus for some of the hours you spend at your internship. Program events, a retreat, and transportation to and from internships are all included in the cost of your tuition, room and board.
