The "Common Scholarship Application" Process

The Nomination Process
Some scholarships are awarded through a nomination process by Western faculty or athletic coaches. We encourage you to contact any and all individuals to solicit nominations for scholarships for which you feel you deserve consideration. If you feel uncomfortable approaching these individuals, the Director of Financial Aid will gladly make the contact for you.
Other Applications
Some scholarships require a separate application or a specific letter to a certain individual or committee. Again, these scholarships are identified under the "description and criteria" section.
