Students participating in Lexia programs who qualify for US state and/or federal financial aid may generally use this aid to cover the cost of the Lexia program and their international airfare, provided that the aid is processed by their US home institution and the credits for the program go toward a degree.

However, be aware that policies on federal and state financial aid transfer are set by your home institution. It is your responsibility to secure your own financial aid transfer. Western Washington University cannot process financial aid for Lexia students, unless you are matriculated (working toward a degree) at WWU.

If your home institution requires that a "consortium agreement" be signed in order to process your financial aid, Lexia, in collaboration with Western Washington University, can sign this agreement. We recommend that you start the financial aid process early, as it can require several weeks to complete. If you do not have a US home institution at which you ar  seeking a degree, and it is not possible for you to obtain state or federal financial aid, then you should consider banks and other sources for potential loans.
