In short, it varies, based on merit, need levels, and other eligibility criteria, but 75% of WSU students receive financial aid.
And, 69% of our students receive scholarships and/or grants—money that doesn’t have to be repaid—with an average award of $10,913.
Average cost after aid: $15,300
In-state cost by household income
Household income | Average cost after aid |

Less than $30,000 | $7,689 |
$30,001–48,000 | $8,719 |
$48,001–75,000 | $14,233 |
$75,001–110,000 | $21,163 |
More than $110,001 | $23,684 |
