Scholarships
At WilmU, we are committed to helping our students achieve their higher education goals. We offer scholarship opportunities based on merit, financial need or other criteria.
Many scholarships are made possible by the donations received through the Scholarship Fund. Donors include alumni, businesses and friends of the University. The majority of WilmU scholarships are non-renewable; however, students may apply annually.
