Scholarships & Grants

At Illinois Wesleyan University, we believe paying for college should be as straightforward as possible. That's why there is no separate application required to receive IWU scholarships and grants.

To be considered for scholarships and institutional grant assistance, simply:

• Submit your application for admission
• Provide all required admission materials

We are fortunate to have many generous donors who have established endowed scholarships to support IWU students. Once you apply for admission, you will automatically be considered for these opportunities based on your academic achievements, talents, and other qualifying factors.  Merit scholarships can go up to $38,000 per year.
