Verification Central

Winston-Salem State University makes every effort to assist students by providing financial assistance to help meet the cost of education. Certain adjustments are already considered in the calculation of a family’s ability to meet expenses in the formula that calculates financial need. Therefore, Winston-Salem State University will not always be able to reduce your expected contribution to meet educational costs based on your unique circumstances. Special consideration is generally given only for those special circumstances.
