Changes to Scholarship Program for Incoming Freshmen Students

  • Tuesday, October 15th, 2019

WKU is increasing the affordability of a higher education by making a number of major changes to its scholarship programs.

Beginning in the Fall of 2020, WKU will no longer utilize ACT scores to award most academic merit-based and targeted scholarships for incoming freshmen. WKU will also make an additional $5.2 million in scholarship funding available to a larger group of students by expanding offers to students with a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher and raising the minimum award from $1,500 to $2,500.
