The Student Financial Services Center is dedicated to making funding and paying for college simple and straightforward. 

We know that figuring out how to pay for college can be intimidating for students and their families. Don’t worry. Our experts will guide you through each step and make the process as easy as possible!

We provide front-line assistance with: 

• Financial Aid 
• Student Accounts 
• Billing

Personalized Year-Round Help 

Every student has an assigned Student Financial Services counselor who will help them from day one to graduation. You can request a one-on-one appointment with one of our counselors year-round by emailing ssc@wilson.edu

We can also teach you about financing, financial aid, and the campus resources available through our financial literacy campaign.
