Financial Aid




Many Air Washington students are eligible for financial assistance to help fund the cost of education. Please visit the OC Financial Aid Office website for comprehensive guidance on the financial process.

Have you already applied to OC to begin your educational program and are ready to apply for financial aid? These are the steps you should take:


  • File the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Please see the OC Financial Aid Office website for further information and a link to the form. Note that you may be contacted to complete some additional paperwork after your financial aid application has been received. Filing the FAFSA enables the OC Financial Aid team to evaluate your eligibility for a number of different aid and grant programs.

  • Veterans should complete the VONAPP at http://www.gibill.va.gov and then contact the OC Veteran's Services Office (VSO) at 360.475.7560 for an orientation to utilizing your educational benefits and other assistance.

  • Active duty military should contact OC Military Education for assistance at militaryed@olympic.edu. Navy personnel are also encouraged to work with the NBK Navy College Office for advising and financial assistance.

  • If you receive Basic Food Assistance, you may be eligible for continued assistance and other financial support while in school under the BFET program. Contact Christine Kubli at 360.475.6551 for more information.
