A university education is an investment – of both time and money – in your future. But the return on that investment comes in more forms than just financial.

At the University of West Georgia, we offer a range of opportunities at a competitive price point. Affordability isn't just a consideration: it's part of our mission. We're here to help you put an education from UWG – one that ranked us the No. 7 public university in Georgia for earning potential by Payscale.com – within reach.

During the soft launch, the FAFSA form will be available for short periods of time while the Department of Education continues to monitor site performance and form functionality. They will continue to initiate pauses for site maintenance and to make technical updates as needed to provide you with a better experience. If your form is unavailable when you or your family members try to access it, please try again later.
