Some students are eligible for a Technology Grant as part of a financial aid or athletic scholarship package. The grant may be redeemed at any one time in a student’s first two years at Wake Forest. If the student ultimately does not attend Wake Forest, the grant funds must be returned. By redeeming this grant, the student accepts these terms.
To begin, take a look at our WakeWare models page. WakeWare “standard options'' are fully covered by the technology grant. Other models in the lineup would require an upgrade charge. Once you decide which device you would like, select the yellow “purchase” button. This will take you to the bookstore website for purchasing.
Here, we’ll use this year’s Surface Laptop Go as an example. Each model will have a similar experience in checkout.
Hover over the model you wish to purchase and select “ADD TO BAG”.
Select “VIEW BAG & CHECKOUT.” You cannot add any other items to your bag while redeeming your Technology Grant.
Review the Cart and select “CHECKOUT”.
You may “Create Account” with the bookstore or select “Continue as Guest.” After you fill out the required fields, select “PROCEED TO DELIVERY METHOD.”
Under Delivery Method, select “Pick Up (FREE)” if you plan to pick up your laptop at the bookstore when you arrive on campus or “Ship to an Address” if you wish to have the laptop shipped to your home. We suggest allowing up to three weeks for your device to ship before the start of school, just to be safe. Select “PROCEED TO PAYMENT METHOD”.
Under Payment, check the “Technology Grant Redemption” box, enter your Student ID beginning with a 0 in the Student ID box (if your Student ID begins with a 3, you must add a 0 to the beginning), and select “FIND ACCOUNTS.” Your WakeWare information will be loaded onto the screen.
Check the “I agree to Terms & Conditions for this account” box before selecting “APPLY”. Make sure you see the WakeWare deduction* from the total before entering any credit card information. *Below is an example only of what you will see. The available credit will vary based on the standard WakeWare model selected
Once you click “APPLY”, you should see your balance applied to your bag total.
If you upgraded your laptop, select the “Credit / Debit Card” field, and enter your credit or debit card information to cover the remaining balance.
Select “PROCEED TO CONTACT INFORMATION”.
