Helping to pay for a William Paterson education For many families, affording college means 1) choosing a reasonably priced school, and 2) using a combination of student and family savings, student jobs, and various forms of financial aid to pay for it. Let us show you how! Options to help you pay for college include scholarships, student loans, and on-campus employment. Scholarships WP maintains a generous merit scholarship program for incoming freshman and transfer applicants. Each year close to 2,000 scholarships are awarded totaling over $7 million. In most cases, all accepted students are automatically considered for scholarships; no separate scholarship application is required. Additional scholarship opportunities for incoming and currently enrolled students are also available through the William Paterson University Foundation and the Alumni Association. Outside scholarships, which students research and apply for on their own, are also accepted.

These do need to be repaid but can help students afford their education upfront. Students are then responsible to repay their loans at a designated time after their education at William Paterson is complete. For more information about loans available to international students, please contact the Financial Aid Office. Student Jobs International students may be eligible for on-campus employment. On-campus jobs are available in many of our University offices, offering bi-weekly paychecks for students. These jobs help students pay for college while also providing valuable contacts and real-world experience. Click here to learn more about our student employment »
