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 Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (See "Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid Recipients" page in the Financial Bulletin). To validate this award, evidence of high school grade-point average must be submitted to Marketing and Enrollment 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. |
