Scholarships and Funding Opportunities

Walsh College strives to help our students maximize the return on their educational investment by offering multiple types of financial assistance. The following resources can help students meet the costs of their Walsh education.

It is strongly recommended all eligible students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually to receive the fullest consideration for Walsh scholarships. Students should also explore tuition reimbursement opportunities through their/parents’ employer(s).

Walsh College Merit Awards

To be considered for Walsh College undergraduate merit awards, new bachelor's level students must apply and submit all admission materials. Bachelor's level students meeting admission requirements will be considered. Master's level student merit awards may be considered if funding is available.

Undergraduate Academic Excellence Award

  • Awarded at admission to new bachelor's degree seeking students with a 3.75 or higher admission grade point average.
  • Up to $10,000 award prorated each semester based on enrollment.
  • Requires a minimum of part-time enrollment (6 undergraduate credits).
  • Must maintain a 3.50 cumulative GPA at Walsh College to renew award each semester.
  • New bachelor's degree seeking students who had Phi Theta Kappa membership at their transfer institution and who meet the above listed criteria will also be considered.

Walsh College Donor Scholarships

To be considered for Walsh College donor scholarship awards, newly admitted and continuing students must submit one scholarship application for consideration for any available donor scholarship opportunities.

While the requirements of individual donor scholarships vary, most take factors such as academic level (bachelor's, master's, or doctoral), program of study, cumulative grade point average, and enrollment status (must be at least half-time enrollment) into consideration. To receive the fullest consideration for all Walsh College scholarship opportunities, eligible students are strongly encouraged to complete the FAFSA each year.

Applicants who submit a scholarship application prior to the applicable scholarship application priority date below are given first consideration. Applications received after the priority date and no later than the first day of the semester, may be considered if funding remains available.

Applicants selected to receive a donor scholarship will receive a scholarship offer notification email from Financial Aid. The number of qualified applicants for scholarships may be greater than the available funding. Not all qualified applicants will receive scholarships. The decisions of the scholarship committee are final.
