In an effort to assist these new students, WUT offers merit and need based scholarship programs that provide partial financial assistance. The decision process for these awards is competitive. Early application and acceptance is advised to ensure maximum consideration. The number of awards offered each year is limited and subject to program funding. Awardees are restricted to one award, either scholarship or grant.
