WIU Awards Commitment Scholarships
April 17, 2013
MACOMB, IL – Western Illinois University has offered more of its Western Commitment Scholarships, an $8,000 award to be applied toward four years of tuition, fees, residence hall room at the school and meal plan, to almost 600 students from around the region.
High school students with an ACT score of 25 or higher and a grade point average of 3.0 or higher are eligible for the $8,000 scholarship.
Compared to last year, WIU has seen a 12 percent jump in applications for students at this scholarship level.
"We believe students are responding to the quality of our academic programs, our new scholarship initiatives, and the involvement of our faculty to recruit the best students" said WIU Admissions Director Andy Borst.
For more information about Western's scholarship programs, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (309) 298-3100, or email admissions@wiu.edu. Additional scholarship opportunities can be found by visiting wiu.edu/scholarship.
