Academic scholarships are determined at the time a high school senior applies to Whitworth University. Receipt of an academic scholarship is automatic for eligible students upon their admittance as full-time matriculated day students for 2010-11.

*SAT scores are based on combined highest scores for critical reading, math and writing tests submitted by March 1. If a student retakes the SAT or ACT standardized exam after being admitted and, as a result, increases his/her test score, the student should notify the admissions office. Please note that updated information must be received by March 1. Any test retaken after March 1 will not be considered.
