WSU Scholarships and Resources Authorization Site (SARAS)

This site is to be used by authorized institutional staff to submit funding requests designated for enrolled students to be accounted for as an educational resource and to be processed to their student account. The goal of this single entry site is to ensure that all such funding requests are correctly accounted for by Student Financial Services and University Receivables. This system will allow for financial aid to account for all such necessary funding regardless of whether the enrolled student has a FAFSA on file or not at the time to ensure if at a later date a FAFSA is completed, eligibility for remaining aid is factoring in such other institutional resources. If a student is not enrolled and the request is not for compensation, a Non Service Pay Authorization Request should be completed.
