Murrow College Scholarship Guidelines:

  • Students must maintain a minimum cumulative WSU GPA of 2.7 through the end of the application year (i.e., if the application deadline is January 31, 2022, eligible students must maintain a minimum 2.7 cumulative GPA through the end of the spring 2022 semester).
  • The WSU General Scholarship Application opens the fall prior to the award year (i.e., for fall 2022/spring 2023 awards, the application will open fall of 2021).
  • Applications must be submitted by the January 31st deadline.
  • Students who have been awarded renewable scholarships must reapply annually and confirm they have met the minimum requirement(s) in order to continue to receive their scholarship(s).
  • Scholarships and internships come with the responsibility to communicate with, and hopefully meet with your benefactor or a funding representative.
  • Thank you notes are required.
  • You may be asked to provide testimonials or other communication during your funded year.
  • Scholarships awards will not be dispersed until for following academic year (i.e., the January 31, 2022, application deadline is for fall 2022 and spring 2023 awards).
  • Scholarship awards will be split equally over the fall and spring semesters, and students must be at full-time enrollment to receive their award(s).
  • Many of our scholarship donors are Murrow grads and they are keen to learn how their investment in your career is bearing fruit. You will find that these people are often fabulous resources for your student and professional life.
