Western Wyoming College Urges FAFSA Filing by Feb. 1, 2027
Western Wyoming College in Rock Springs is encouraging current and prospective students to complete the 2027–2028 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), now available at StudentAid.gov. The Wyoming Community College Commission recommends filing by February 1, 2027, to maximize financial aid consideration, while Western advises submitting at least six to eight weeks before the semester begins. Students can enter Western's federal school code 003933 and should also complete a separate scholarship application for institutional awards, including the Hathaway Scholarship for Wyoming high school graduates and Wyoming Works funding for workforce training. The FAFSA determines eligibility for Pell Grants, work-study, federal loans, and certain state aid programs.
