Pay In Full
Students have the option to pay the full cost of their tuition and fees online by credit card or in person by cash, check or credit card.
Student Payment Plan
The Student Payment Plan allows students to pay their bill through four payments scheduled throughout the semester. Enrollment in the payment plan is free and requires no money down!
Resources for Students
Third-party funding is financial assistance received from sources other than financial aid to help with college costs or other expenses. View this listing of Financial Resources.
Veterans Benefits
Veterans, service members and their families may qualify for assistance paying for their education through Veterans Education Benefits. Many Gateway programs are approved for educational benefits through the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs and/or the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.
Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded to students often based on factors like financial need, academic merit or specific achievements. Scholarships are available each year through the Gateway Technical College Foundation and outside sources.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is assistance from the state or federal government in the form of grants, work study and student loans to help students meet educational costs. Student loans need to be repaid while grants and work study do not.
Employer Tuition Reimbursement
Some employers reimburse part or all of tuition for their employees’ job-related education. Check with your employer’s human resources office for details on available programs at your workplace.

"Going to college would have been much harder without the Promise program. I would have had to pay off college for a long time. I am so grateful I was able to get into the program."
