Walters State Foundation Accepting Scholarship Applications

The Walters State Foundation is now accepting applications for scholarships. The Walters State Foundation gives over $500,000 in scholarships each year. Most are funded through endowments created by generous donors. Some are based on merit or need. Others are reserved for students from a particular geographic area or pursuing a specific major.

The Walters State Foundation also funds the Walters State Promise. Students completing high school with an unweighted 3.7 grade point average and scoring a 24 on the ACT receive up to $1,000 a semester. High School students who complete four Walters State Duel enrollment classes (12 semester hours) are also guaranteed up top $1,000 a semester when they enroll as full-time students. Students can get more information at www.ws.edu/financial-aid. The application period will end on February 1.
