Types of Aid

Grants

Grants (e.g. Federal Pell, Pennsylvania State Grants) are need-based financial aid awards that do not have to be paid back, as long as you attend financial aid eligible classes.

Scholarships

Williamson College of the Trades offers a variety of scholarships. 100% of students attending Williamson receive a need-based scholarship to offset Tuition and Room/Boarding costs. Additionally, Williamson, through its generous friends and alumni, sponsors a number of additional merit-based scholarships each academic year. All scholarship award information will be included in the student’s Financial Aid Award Letter. Williamson does not require the student to pay back any scholarship award amount.

Fostering Independence through Education Act

In 2019, the Pennsylvania Department of Education established the Fostering Independence through Education Act to aid residential students who have been in foster care. Students who may be eligible for this program should contact Gretchen Skipworth, Director of Financial Aid or Jay Merillat, Vice President of Enrollment Management for program details and application assistance.
