Academic Awards (freshmen)

Academic Awards (Freshmen) are merit-based scholarships offered by Indiana Wesleyan University to first-time incoming undergraduate students. These awards are automatically considered during the admission process, so no separate scholarship application is required. Eligibility is based on a minimum 3.0 high school GPA at the time of admission, and students may receive between $8,000 and $17,000 per year, depending on their academic performance. The scholarship is available for all undergraduate majors and is renewable for up to four years, provided students maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and remain enrolled as full-time students during the fall and spring semesters.
