Transfer to The Western Way: 4 YEARS, $0 TUITION OR FEES
The Western Way offers a path to an unparalleled educational experience. Incoming new students meeting eligibility and renewal requirements are guaranteed to have their tuition costs and mandatory fees covered. For transfers, the award will cover four consecutive semesters. WIU ensures there are no financial barriers for qualifying students. This is the Western Way.
