WMU Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship
for the 2024-25 academic year
Sponsored by the Western Michigan University Alumni Association, the Legacy Scholarship is awarded to all entering students whose parent, stepparent or legal guardian is a WMU graduate. The scholarship is a one-time, non-renewable award of $500.
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply for this competitive scholarship, applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Parent, stepparent, or legal guardian must be a graduate of Western Michigan University.
- Must be enrolled as a full-time, degree-seeking student at WMU in the fall of 2024 for the first time as a freshman or as an undergraduate transfer student.
Award Process
The WMU Alumni Association awards Legacy Scholarships to students who provided information on their admission application that a parent, stepparent, or legal guardian is a graduate of Western Michigan University. This information is then used to verify alumni status. Eligible students will see the Legacy Scholarship on their student account beginning in February (for students enrolling in fall 2024).
