How to Access Your Award Notice

You can access your Award Notices online via WINGS. The Office of Financial Aid prepares financial aid awards annually in accordance with the aid year's processing schedule. You will be notified via your Wright State University email when your Award Notice is available to access online.

To receive your Award Notice, you must have:



Your Award Notice and Cost of Attendance for Financial Aid

The Award Notice displays financial aid awards based on full-time enrollment at Wright State, even if you do not plan to enroll full-time. Once you accept your financial aid awards and register for classes, the amount and type of aid that will pay towards your bill will be based on your registered credit hours. Visit our Receiving Your Aid page for more information.

Financial aid awards are determined annually and are based on Wright State's cost of attendance. The cost of attendance (COA) is a budget created to calculate how much financial aid you are eligible to receive. Your combined financial aid awards cannot exceed the cost of attendance for the year. The COA is also used to determine financial need by subtracting your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) or Student Aid Index (SAI) from the COA. Your EFC/SAI is calculated by the U.S. Department of Education when you file your FAFSA. Your total need-based aid awards (grants, scholarships, employment, and subsidized loans) cannot exceed your financial need (certain types of aid, like the Federal Pell Grant, are excluded from this concept).

The COA is created by taking the average cost to attend for an academic year. An academic year is defined as both Fall and Spring semesters. The COA is increased if a student enrolls summer semester.

The COA includes various components, such as tuition and fees, housing, food, books, supplies, travel, and other personal expenses to create a budget used to award financial aid. Wright State University’s COA budgets are determined using the weighted average of the overall estimated costs.  Each student will have different costs depending on their Wright Guarantee Rate, personal choices, and individual circumstances. This means expenses may vary and the COA may not reflect the actual amount you may owe the university. Below are the cost of attendance budgets used to determine financial aid. You are encouraged to view your current Wright Guarantee Rates for tuition and on-campus housing and meal plans as you will be billed directly for these items. You can also estimate your costs using the online cost estimator.

If you find your program has additional costs you do not see reflected in your COA budget, please review the Cost of Attendance Appeal Policy.

Financial Aid for Summer

Summer is the first academic term in the financial aid year. For example, Summer 2024 is the first academic term in the 2024–25 aid year. Therefore, you must file the 2024–25 FAFSA to apply for federal student aid for Summer 2024.

To receive financial aid for the Summer Semester, you must answer Yes to your Summer Enrollment Plans. The Summer Enrollment Plans question appears as a financial aid requirement in WINGS when the Office of Financial Aid processes your FAFSA (see the processing schedule on our Important Dates page).
 



Accept Your Awards

Your Award Notice is available online via WINGS. You may accept or decline the financial aid awards that appear on your Award Notice in accordance with the Office of Financial Aid's processing schedule. It is very important you read all the information on your Award Notice and follow all instructions carefully.

For step-by-step instructions on how to accept your financial aid awards in WINGS, visit the WINGS Support page.

Grants and some scholarships will already appear as accepted on your Award Notice. However, work study, student loans, and other scholarships must be accepted on your Award Notice in order to initiate processing. Accepting a student loan on your Award Notice only begins the loan process. There are additional requirements you must complete to secure your loan and to ensure it is processed correctly. Visit the Getting a Loan page for more information. If your parent is interested in applying for a parent loan, visit the Parent Loans page for more information.
