Presidential Scholarship

The freshman Presidential Scholarship pays $8,000 a year for four years* of undergraduate tuition and fees. The Presidential Scholarship will pay out in the amount of $4,000 a semester for each of the fall and winter terms within the academic year. The amount paid per term is not based on the number of credit hours for which the student is enrolled per term;however full-time enrollment is required. Students will receive a refund check for the difference, if any, in the amount of scholarship money applied per term and the amount of the tuition bill.

The Presidential Scholarship award cannot be accepted in conjunction with other awards funded from the Wayne State University Presidential Scholarship program, including the Wayne State Scholarship and the WSU/DSO Scholarship.
