The WSU Financial Aid merit scholarship and incoming freshmen scholarship charts are provided so you can estimate your scholarship eligibility as a new incoming freshman student. It provides an approximation of what you can expect to qualify for based on the composite of your grade point average and test score. It is not an application for other scholarships or financial aid, and the results are estimates, not guarantees. Official scholarship offer letters will be mailed if students qualify for merit or incoming freshmen scholarships. Full consideration is given to students who apply for admission by the December 1 priority date. After December 1, consideration will be based on available funding.
The chart reflects scholarship amounts over a four-year period. Scholarships can only be applied to direct costs: tuition and student fees and on-campus housing. (Cannot be applied to deposits -- i.e. – housing deposit.). Students must meet requirements for scholarship renewal as outlined in their scholarship offer letter.
Scholarship amounts are based on residency status at the time of admission.
