We also have a Merit Meter™ rating for colleges, which represents how generous the school is when handing out merit aid compared to other colleges.
The Merit Meter represents how much merit aid the school gives and to how many students. It is based on the percentage of students WSU Global Campus gives merit aid to and the amount given compared to the cost of attendance, compared to other colleges and universities.
