The Scholarship Committee looks at many factors when awarding scholarships including donor-stipulated conditions, academic record, and/or financial need. If you wish to meet one of the special donor-stipulated conditions as specified in the scholarship list at the bottom of this page, be sure to include this information in your application. All WCB Scholarship awards are only valid for one term. Students must submit a new application and new materials for each term that they wish to be considered for any award (this includes the Latin-American Caribbean scholarship).
A current FAFSA must be on file with the university in order to be considered for need-based scholarships. International students should submit the Determination of Financial Need Form – without this, international students are ineligible for need-based scholarships.
