Transfer Students
As a transfer student, you may be eligible for need-based scholarship and loan funds from a variety of sources including WPI, the federal government, and some state government agencies. Financial aid is not available for part-time or international (non U.S. citizen) transfer students.
After you submit your application for admission to WPI, your next step is to file your Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form to determine your eligibility for federal aid and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile to determine your eligibility for WPI-funded financial assistance:
- For fall enrollment, the preferred deadline is May 15, however we will review applications received beyond this date
You will also need the following codes to submit your forms online:
- FAFSA: WPI school code 002233
- CSS Profile: WPI school code 3969
Non-Custodial Parents
If your parents are divorced, separated or were never married, both biological parents will need to complete a CSS Profile application. Each parent will complete their own individual CSS Profile based on their household's information.
- For fall enrollment, the preferred deadline is May 15, however we will review applications received beyond this date
