ACHIEVEMENT SCHOLARSHIP. A student can be awarded a scholarship based on their high school cumulative GPA or ACT/SAT test scores, whichever has the highest dollar value.
This award is fully renewable for three additional years if the student maintains a 3.0 grade-point average. To validate this award, evidence of grade-point average must be submitted to Student Financial Services by the student's school. General Equivalency Diploma (GED) test scores do not qualify. Students who attend any other college or university (except for the summer) forfeit the balance of their scholarship. See wallawalla.edu/achievement-scholarship for complete official scholarship guidelines. |
