The starting point

Whitworth centers merit on automatic Academic Achievement awards scaled by GPA, topped by the full-tuition Honors Colloquium Scholarship, with National Merit, talent, and military service awards.

More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.

Awards to discuss

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

Recorded stacking policy: Whitworth states that scholarships from local, regional, or national organizations can usually be stacked on top of Whitworth scholarships and grants; the rare exceptions are not specified, so confirm your case with the aid office.
