National Merit Scholars Award (Illinois Wesleyan University)

Illinois Wesleyan automatically adds a $4,000-a-year scholarship to the aid package of incoming first-year students who hold National Merit Scholar recognition. There's no separate IWU application — the award is layered on through the standard admission application once a student's National Merit status is on file — and it's designed to stack with a student's other IWU merit aid.

Eligibility
