Woodring Scholarships

Scholarship Applications for the 2026-2027 Academic Year Are Now Open!

Apply through the WWU Scholarship Portal

Through the WWU Scholarship Portal, continuing students can complete a single, annual scholarship application to be automatically considered for all Western scholarships they may be eligible for. 

The WWU Scholarship Portal uses existing data (GPA, major, minor, etc.) and the information provided in your application to determine if you meet the requirements for any WWU scholarships. If you meet the requirements and completed the necessary prompts in the application, your completed application will be forwarded to the corresponding review committees. 

For more details, to sign up for updates, or to read through our FAQs, please visit the Financial Aid website.
