EWoW is tuition-based, with limited scholarship and work opportunities available.
Payment plans are available, as are discounts and need-based financial aid.

HOW CAN I BEST MINIMIZE MY BILL?
The best way to keep your bill as low as possible is to take full advantage of our discounts, scholarship offers, work plans, and need-based aid. This means committing to EWoW early in our planning process for the fall. While we offer rolling admission, most financial aid and scholarships are fully committed by the end of June.
