The Walters State Scholarship Application portal is now open and the application period ends on February 1st.
The Walters State Foundation gives over $500,000 in scholarships each year. Most are funded through endowments created by generous donors. Some are based on merit or need. Others are reserved for students from a particular geographic area or pursuing a specific major.
The Walters State Foundation also funds the Walters State Promise. Students completing high school with a 3.7 grade point average and scoring a 24 on the ACT receive up to $1,000 a semester. High school students who complete four Walters State dual enrollment classes (12 semester hours) are also guaranteed up to $1,000 a semester when they enroll as full-time students.
Students can learn more by going to Walter State’s Website or by calling 423-585-6824. Students must first apply for admission to the college.
