Winona awards more than a half-million dollars annually in academic scholarships to highly qualified students. These prestigious awards, which can amount to as much as $3,500 each, are based on academic merit and potential. All Winona applicants are automatically considered for the academic achievement scholarships. This means there is no extra paperwork to complete and you will be guaranteed the money for which you qualify. The Office of Admissions urges all students, especially those eligible for academic scholarships, to apply between August 15 and December 1.
