Each year, WNC awards scholarships to students on the basis of academic criteria or any combination of academics, field of study, financial need, activities, community service, and other criteria. Students must complete the online WNC Scholarship Application to be considered for WNC Foundation scholarships. Students who are not eligible for federal assistance can still apply for scholarship funds.

The application deadline for 2012-2013 scholarships is April 1.

Generally, in order to be selected to receive a campus-based scholarship, a student must:

• meet the specific selection criteria for a particular scholarship program
• be enrolled in a minimum of six units, unless otherwise requested by the donor
• have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0, unless otherwise requested by the donor
• have financial need as determined by completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a requirement for many scholarships.

Students awarded scholarships will have their award disbursed to their student account once a thank you card has been received. Please be aware that scholarships of $500 and over will be disbursed in two equal payments (fall and spring) unless otherwise requested by the donor. Students must meet the minimum GPA criteria for a scholarship in order to receive the second disbursement.
