Description

Wheaton Refugee Scholarship

Wheaton College in Massachusetts is committed to improving the world through new ideas and educational opportunity. Wheaton care deeply about assembling a global community of scholars that represents the widest possible range of viewpoints, not the least of which are the perspectives of students fleeing persecution and conflict in their home countries. To this end, the Wheaton Refugee Scholarship was established in 2017.
Each year, Wheaton awards more than $40 million to domestic and international students in the form of merit- and need-based financial aid. This additional scholarship is an incremental scholarship and does not detract from its commitment to others in its applicant pool. Rather, it further expands its commitment to access to higher education.
