Continuing Students

Winthrop Scholarship - The 2024-2025 application deadline has passed. The 2025-2026 application will be available in March 2025.

Scholarship support is awarded to continuing Winthrop students on the basis of their academic achievement at the University and/or participation in extracurricular activities. High-achieving students, seeking their first undergraduate degree, who have a minimum 3.8 Winthrop cumulative GPA after the fall term are invited to submit an application for scholarships to the Office of Financial Aid in late March of each year. The Scholarship Committee will review the applications and make awards for the following academic year. For additional information, you may contact the Office of Financial Aid.

Children of Faculty and Staff Scholarship - The 2024-2025 application deadline has passed. The 2025-2026 application will be available in March 2025.

Scholarships funded by the generous contributions of Winthrop University faculty and staff are available to qualifying children of full-time faculty and staff members at Winthrop University. Applications are usually available in late March of each year. Students must be seeking an undergraduate or graduate degree and intend to enroll full-time in the fall term. Scholarship recipients will be chosen by Winthrop's Scholarship Committee and awarded by mid-June. For additional information, you may contact the Office of Financial Aid.
