Scholarship FAQs
Many scholarships are automatically awarded when you receive your admission to Webster, with no separate application required.
However, some competitive scholarships may require a separate application. Each scholarship listing includes application instructions. Review the scholarship descriptions to confirm what is required.
Yes. Many Webster scholarships are stackable, meaning they can be combined with other Webster awards. However, two scholarships cannot be combined with any other Webster award:
- The Presidential Transfer Scholarship (full tuition)
- The Phi Theta Kappa Distinguished Achievement Scholarship (full tuition)
If you receive either of these full-tuition awards, it replaces any previous scholarship offer.
No, most Webster scholarships apply toward tuition only. Some Study Abroad scholarships may be applied toward housing, program fees or airfare.
Most automatically awarded scholarships renew each year as long as you remain enrolled full-time and meet the GPA requirements.
Please contact Financial Aid by email at financialaid@webster.edu or phone at 314-968-6992 to confirm your renewal.
Generally, no. Webster scholarships are considered institutional aid and are part of your overall financial aid package. In some cases, receiving additional scholarships may affect the composition of your aid package.
Please contact Financial Aid by email at financialaid@webster.edu or phone at 314-968-6992 to confirm the details of your financial aid package.
Yes, in most cases. Webster encourages students to pursue outside scholarships. However, if the combination of all aid exceeds the cost of attendance, your Webster scholarship may be adjusted.
If you have questions about Scholarships, please reach out to the Office of Financial Aid.
