2010-2011 Scholarship Application Walters State Community College
WHAT DOES THIS APPLICATION DO?
Walters State Community College offers many types of scholarships for students within our
service area. A committee comprised of faculty, administration, and students select all
recipients. This process gives consideration to high school GPA, ACT scores,
post-secondary GPA and other demographic information such as county of residency,
program of study, etc. It is open for ALL students to apply. The Walters State Academic
Performance Scholarship is based primarily on academic merit. The Walters State Community
College Foundation scholarships are based on criteria established by the specific donor
of each scholarship. Walters State also offers our Presidential scholarship to the
valedictorian or salutatorian from each area high school if they chose to attend WSCC.
To apply for these scholarships, you must complete the Walters State Community College
scholarship application located on the Financial Aid website. All applications must be
submitted by March 15 - LATE applications will not be considered.
Once the committee has approved the recommendations for scholarship, each award
recipient will be notified by mail with regard to the type of scholarship they
have received. These students will be required to submit a scholarship acceptance
form in order to be eligible for the scholarship. Students will not be notified if
they did not receive a scholarship.
