Scholarships for Current and Returning Students

To be considered a current student, you must currently be enrolled at WSU and at least a year must have transpired since your high school graduation (if less than a year has passed, check out our Scholarships for Freshmen page). If you've transferred to WSU with less than 30 credit hours, you are also considered a current student and not a transfer student. 

To be eligible for scholarships, please do the following:

• Update your personal information in the eWeber portal before January 14, 2013 for the 2012-2013 school year.
• Be re-admitted or reactivated through the WSU Admissions Office if you have been out of school for more than one semester.
• If you're a junior or senior (with more than 60 credit hours), you must have a declared major.
• Complete the scholarship application via the eWeber portal before the deadline (the earlier you apply, the more competitive you will be for the scholarship).
