Scholarships

Free money? Yes, please. Scholarships are a well-known form of gift aid that doesn’t require repayment. We consider a variety of factors when awarding them, including academic achievement, talent, leadership, geographical location, field of study, or financial need. WSCO students can benefit from multiple sources of scholarships, including institutional scholarships as well as WSCO Foundation scholarships. Be sure to pay attention to scholarship requirements and deadlines.
