The Western Michigan University Foundation Scholarship awards $16,000 per year to incoming freshman students who demonstrate both academic achievement and financial need. The competitive scholarship is administered through WMU's Scholarship Universe platform. It reflects the WMU Foundation's commitment to making higher education accessible to talented students facing financial barriers.
Open to incoming first-year students enrolling at Western Michigan University in the fall. Applicants must have a 3.70+ weighted cumulative GPA at the time of admission and verified financial need, which may include enrollment in the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch program, foster care status, or homelessness.
Complete a separate scholarship application in WMU's Scholarship Universe system by February 15, in addition to the college admissions application.
