Early College Scholarships
There are two WSU scholarship options available for Early College students for fall and spring semesters.
There are currently no Early College scholarships for summer semester.
These scholarships are only available for a limited number of students each academic year as they are contingent upon funding and may be reviewed each semester. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Students must complete the application process each academic year to be considered for the scholarships. Receiving a scholarship for one academic semester does not guarantee that you will receive the scholarship in subsequent semesters.
