Academic Scholarships and Grants
UIW is committed to rewarding the academic accomplishments of first-time freshmen and transfer students. Academic scholarships and grants are merit-based forms of financial aid. You must meet the criteria indicated below to be eligible for an academic scholarship or grant at UIW. Your transcripts and ACT and/or SAT scores will be evaluated to determine eligibility. No additional scholarship application is needed. As these scholarships and grants are merit-based, financial need is not a criterion.
Merit-Based Awards (Effective Fall, 2008)
The University of the Incarnate Word recognizes the academic achievement of freshman and transfer applicants by offering merit-based aid. Academic transcripts and ACT and/or SAT scores are evaluated during the admissions process, at which time eligibility for merit award is determined. Although UIW has a rolling admissions policy, we encourage applicants to complete the admissions process as soon as possible.
