Each WSC scholarship has its own eligibility requirements, some examples are enrollment, grade point average, and involvement with WSC. We also have need-based scholarships available and this is determined with the completion of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application.
Below are just a few general requirements of all our scholarships.
Additionally, all WSC scholarship recipients will be required to participate in Success Coaching. Through success coaching, students can expect to be offered personalized support and mentorship during their collegiate experience.

I was awarded a scholarship. What happens if I become ineligible during the academic year?
Please contact us and we will work with you because each scholarship is different. Your scholarship requirements are listed in your award letter which can be found in myUVU. Ineligibility varies depending on the specific scholarship, such as GPA or full time enrollment requirements.
Depending on the circumstances, we can submit an appeal to Financial Aid. This provides you with an opportunity to provide context as well as relevant documentation.
Unfortunately, none of our scholarships can be deferred to another semester. If you have a planned absence or take a leave of absence, any remaining funds of your scholarship will not disburse.
Financial Aid is available to assist students in staying up to date on their account information in addition to understanding any tuition-related holds. When available, their website will update with the deadlines for application requirements, appeals, and loan requests for each semester.
