Scholarship Rules

Scholarship winners will be selected by a scholarship committee of admissions professionals and teaching faculty at Roberts Wesleyan University. Each Impact Scholarship winner will be awarded funds up to full tuition (FAFSA must be submitted). Winners will be notified end of June, 2026.

Scholarship winners must apply and enroll as full-time students in their chosen program starting in Fall of 2026.
