At Wescom, we believe that money should never be an obstacle to attending — and graduating from — college. We’re a member-owned not-for-profit financial cooperative, dedicated to helping Southern Californians like you build better financial futures. And that includes helping students and families make their college dreams a reality.
Figuring out how to pay for college can feel overwhelming — especially with all the different terms you’ll be hearing. But it doesn’t have to be that way – not when our interactive video explains it all to you. It only takes a few minutes so why not watch now?
Wescom’s Smart Option Student Loan® by Sallie Mae® can be an ideal solution to help families pay for college expenses not covered by scholarships, grants and federal loans.

In addition to need-based financial aid, many colleges also offer merit scholarships. There are also lots of scholarships awarded by private organizations and foundations, so it’s definitely worth investing some time researching — and applying for — different scholarships.
