*Based on combined highest scores for critical reading, math and writing tests. If a student retakes the SAT or ACT exam after being admitted and improves his/her test score, the student should notify the admissions office. If a student’s cumulative GPA increases after the student is admitted, s/he should send an updated official high school transcript to the admissions office. Please note that all updated information must be received by March 1 to be considered in determining academic scholarships.

Students who enroll at Whitworth full time in 2012-13 will automatically receive the highest scholarship for which they qualify (based on information received by the admissions office by March 1). These scholarships are available for four consecutive years to cover Whitworth tuition costs. Whitworth will renew the academic scholarship each year a student is enrolled full time and maintains satisfactory academic progress. When students apply for additional funding with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), these scholarships are considered a resource when meeting a student's demonstrated financial need.

• Students must submit all applications, fulfill all requirements and meet all deadlines of the NMSC program.
• To qualify for consideration, National Merit Finalists must designate Whitworth University as their first-choice college.
