*Based on combined highest scores for critical reading, math and writing tests submitted by March 1. Whitworth promises to renew the academic scholarship at the same level each year, based on the student's ability to maintain satisfactory academic progress while enrolled full time at Whitworth. These scholarships are available for four consecutive years.

These scholarships are determined at the time a high school senior applies to Whitworth University. Receipt of an academic scholarship is automatic upon admittance as a full-time matriculated day student for 2009-10. If a student retakes the SAT or ACT standardized tests after being admitted and, as a result, increases their test score, the student should notify the admissions office. Students can submit new test scores or an increase in a cumulative GPA to the admissions office until
March 1. Please note that updated information must be received by March 1. Any test retaken after March 1 will not be considered.
