Understanding how finances work in U.S. universities can be confusing—especially since international students are not eligible for federal financial aid. Below is a simplified guide to billing, payments, and financial responsibilities at Wright State University.
International students on F-1 visas are not eligible for FAFSA. Instead, funding may come from scholarships, sponsors, or personal/family support. For scholarship questions, contact the Office of Financial Aid.
Tuition and fees are posted each semester in WINGS Express. Charges may include tuition, international student fees, housing, meal plans, and health insurance.
Tuition deadlines are strict. Missing a deadline may result in late fees or being dropped from classes. Payment plan options are available through the Bursar’s Office.
All international students must have health insurance. Students are automatically enrolled unless they submit an approved waiver before the deadline.
F-1 students may work up to 20 hours per week during the semester and 40 hours during official breaks. On-campus jobs should supplement, not replace, tuition planning.
