M.G. and Lillie A. Johnson Foundation Allied Health Scholarships for First-Time-At-WCJC Students

Fall 2022 students who are attending WCJC for the first time and are enrolled in Allied Health majors, Pre-Allied Health majors or in Emergency Medical Services courses may qualify for a $2,000 scholarship for the 2022-2023 academic year. To qualify, a student must be a high school graduate or have a high school equivalency certificate and reside in one of 15 specific counties – Aransas, Bee, Calhoun, Colorado, Dewitt, Goliad, Gonzales, Jackson, Karnes, Lavaca, Matagorda, Refugio, Victoria, Waller or Wharton – or within the Needville Independent School District.

Scholarship Opportunities

Through the generosity of donors, WCJC can award students thousands of dollars in institutional scholarships each year. An up-to-date list of scholarship opportunities for WCJC students can be found at wcjc.edu.

Tuition & Fee Installment Plan

WCJC’s Tuition & Fee Installment Plan allows students to pay a percentage of tuition and fees at time of plan entry, plus a $35 non-refundable enrollment fee. The amount paid at plan entry differs per semester, as well as how long students have to spread out payments. Students should visit wcjc.edu for plan details.

Discounted Tuition & Fees Program

Additional assistance is being provided for WCJC students who take more than 13 hours of academic transfer courses. Under this policy, tuition and fees will be waived for any courses above the 13 credit hours. For example, an in-district student taking 19 credit hours will pay roughly $1,214 – the same amount paid by a student taking only 13 hours.

Pell Grants

Students who display exceptional financial need may be awarded a Federal Pell Grant. A

Pell Grant is a form of “gift aid” that does not have to be paid back. Congress has increased the 2022-2023 Pell Grant maximum award to $6,895. Students enrolling for Fall 2022 must complete a 2022-2023 FAFSA and submit supporting documentation to the WCJC Financial Aid Office for eligibility consideration.

Federal Direct Student Loans

Students who have a complete financial aid file at WCJC and are achieving Satisfactory Academic Progress may qualify for subsidized and/or unsubsidized student loans.

Financial Aid Special Condition Request

This request enables qualified students to receive an increased Pell Grant award and possibly additional subsidized loan funds. It’s aimed at WCJC students who have faced a reduction in household income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
