How to Apply for Scholarships
Murrow College utilizes the WSU General Scholarship Application to select its scholarship awardees. This application is available online in mid-fall, and students are encouraged to update their scholarship application information every January.
Students are also encouraged to complete the FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)—see WSU Student Financial Services for more information. This application is not required for Murrow Scholarships; however, it is used when we consider students for specific need-based scholarships.

- Students must be admitted to a major within the Murrow College of Communication upon completing the WSU General Scholarship Application and must maintain admittance to the college.
- Students must maintain a minimum cumulative WSU GPA of 2.7 through the end of the application year.
