Centennial Merit Scholarship - Texas Campus

The Centennial Merit Scholarship is available to qualified, new, full-time students enrolling in the on-ground West Coast University BSN or LVN-BSN programs. There are a limited number of scholarships available for each new starting class.  Applicants will be evaluated based on a composite score of criteria including entrance test score and unmet financial need. 

To qualify for a scholarship award, applicants must meet all WCU program admission requirements for full enrollment (not conditional enrollment); and earn a minimum entrance test score of 80 on the HESI exam, or a comparable score on the TEAS V, SAT, or ACT exam.  Scholarship amounts vary, and will be awarded on a first-come, first serve basis.  The maximum award available is $3,750 per semester, for a maximum of $30,000 over 8 full time semesters. 

The terms and conditions and eligibility criteria for the Centennial Merit Scholarship are subject to change, and the program may be discontinued at any time. Centennial Merit scholarship may not be combined with any other WCU scholarship or grants. See the Financial Aid department for more details.
