I'm considering Johnson and Wales for college. It looks great, but my family is not that financially strong. Does anyone have an idea about the scholarships they offer and what qualifications they are looking for?
Johnson & Wales University offers a diverse set of scholarships to help alleviate the financial burden on students. Here are a few you might want to know about:
1. President’s Academic Scholarship: This scholarship is merit-based and is awarded to students based on their high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores. The value can range from $2,000-$20,000 per academic year.
2. Wildcat Award: All students are eligible for this renewable scholarship based on their high school academic record, offering up to $15,000.
3. JWU Excellence Award: If you are an incoming student with a high school GPA between 3.5 and 4.0, you may be eligible for this renewable $2,000 scholarship.
However, it's important to note that the university encourages all students to fill out the FAFSA to determine their eligibility for federal and state aid as well.
For each scholarship, the qualifications and the application process might vary, so be sure to check the official university website or contact the Financial Aid Office for the most accurate and detailed information. Remember, the sooner you apply, the better your chances are of receiving a scholarship. Good luck!
