Each admitted first-year student is given automatic consideration for Trustee Scholarships. No separate application is required. The Committee on Admission uses several factors to select scholarship recipients. These factors include evidence of academic promise and the candidate's potential contribution to the quality of the entering class. Students are notified of a scholarship award in their letter of admission.
Scholarships are easily renewable each year, so long as a student remains in good academic standing.
Willamette makes no other rank or grade requirement of its scholarship recipients. Students who intend to pursue the joint program in law and management should know that the College of Law and the Atkinson Graduate School award scholarships separately. A scholarship given by one school does not apply while a student is studying at the other. March 1 is the latest filing date recommended by the College of Law. Inquiries regarding the status of loan processing or work-study awards should be directed to the Office of Financial Aid.
