• The student must register for the Experiential Education/Internship work experience within one month of the registration period.
• The student must work at the Experiential Education/Internship  experience for the semester that financial aid is to be received.
• The student can only receive financial aid while working toward the number of hours required by the Experiential Education/Internship department.
• The student must be registered for at least six traditional hours at WAU.
• The student must petition the Student Finance Committee to request an exception to receive institutional aid as an Experiential Education student.  A petition form may be obtained in the Financial Aid Office.
