The College of Wooster

The College Scholar Award recognizes exceptional academic and extracurricular achievement among the 6,000 applications Wooster receives annually. The Scholarship Committee awards the highest academically qualified students, those who typically fall in the top 5% of the applicant pool. We recommend that students applying for this award rank in the top 15% of their high school class. The Committee considers a student’s overall academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, leadership and personal merit, along with short-answer responses from the online application. College Scholar Award winners receive up to $41,000 annually; this new award amount replaces the Dean’s Scholarship. Prospective first-year students interested in both the Clarence Beecher Allen Scholarship and College Scholar Award should be aware that they can only be awarded one of these competition based awards.
