Academic Achievement Scholarship
Types of scholarships
Washington Heritage University offers the following scholarships.
Active Pastor & Missionary Scholarship
Pastor, Missionary, and Current Mission Family Student Scholarship
The Academic Achievement Scholarships can be awarded to students with a GPA of 3.75 or higher. Please note that this scholarship is for continuing students only and that having the required GPA does not guarantee a student this scholarship. New students may not apply for this scholarship.
The Active Pastor and Missionary Scholarship is available to students who are active pastors, associate pastors, or missionaries serving in a WHU-recognized seminary, church, or mission agency. Applicants must submit a reference letter on official letterhead, signed by the organization's head. Applications without this letter will not be considered.
The Minority Scholarship is available to students who are involved in minority mission projects.
Other organizations such as churches or different charitable organizations are the ones who initially grant Designated Scholarships. If a new or continuing WHU student is awarded one of these, the scholarship must first be approved by the Scholarship Committee before those funds can be dispersed.
The Pastor, Missionary, and Current Student Family Scholarship will be granted to an immediate family member (either a husband, a wife, or a child) of an active WHU student.
1. Students must submit an application for their desired scholarship(s) every semester.
2. WHU does require letters of reference and other documentation for certain scholarships. What types of documents are needed for which scholarships are delineated below. Applications that do not have additional documentation for the scholarships that require it will not be considered by the Scholarship Committee.
3. To be eligible for any scholarship, a student's cumulative GPA must be above 2.0.
4. If a student drops out or withdraws or otherwise does not complete the degree plan they are enrolled in at WTS, the student must repay the total amount of scholarship they have been awarded.
Internal regulation of WHU Scholarships
The Scholarship Committee Members are the Academic Dean, Student Service personnel, and the Administrative Director.
