The students you see below are just a few of the students our staff has had the pleasure of working with.<\/p>\n<p>We would like\u00a0to showcase WSU&#8217;s brightest and most talented Cougs and highlight their financial aid stories. A student&#8217;s financial situation during their college career will probably one of their first big hurdles in life. But through their stories, you will learn just how important their financial aid awards are to them and how these awards are\u00a0helping them achieve their academic and future career goals.<\/p>\n<p>Our staff, on a daily basis, provide current and prospective WSU students, and their families, with the highest level of individualized guidance and support. We want\u00a0to make sure that a student&#8217;s financial situation is not a huge burden to them; that they are well informed about WSU&#8217;s Financial Aid process and that they are provided with the tools so they can understand and manage their finances. Student Financial Services looks forward to working with you in the future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"\" class=\"column two \"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-1467213940803\" class=\"row single gutter pad-top gray-lightest-back equalize\">\n<div style=\"\" class=\"column one padded\">\n<header>\n<h2>Joel Padilla<\/h2>\n<\/header><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-1467213897890\" class=\"row halves gutter pad-top pad-bottom\">\n<div style=\"\" class=\"column one \">\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bk1E7J3LroE]<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"\" class=\"column two \">\n<p>&#8230; is a first generation student, student mentor, and has dreams of one day working in the hotel industry.
