Scholarship Renewals - Previous Scholarship Winners

How do I renew my scholarship?

Both scholarships’ winners are eligible to renew their scholarship for three additional years should they continue meeting the requirements of maintaining full-time status as a student and a 3.0 GPA or higher. It is the responsibility of each student to submit their most recent official college transcript noting their GPA for consideration by the Selection Committee. Previous winners should aim to have a digital copy of their Official College Transcripts submitted online to WASDA by June 12, 2024. The Digital Renewal Form will be hosted here in June 2023. Please check back for more details in June 2024.

 

The WASDA Management Team will make every effort to contact eligible winners in the spring of each year. However, sometimes the contact information on file is no longer valid. It is the responsibly of each student to submit their most recent College Transcript noting their GPA for consideration by the WASDA Scholarship Fund Selection Committee. As a reminder, the scholarship is renewable up to three years based on maintaining a 3.0 GPA or higher.
