2024-2025 Scholarship Applications Are Now Open!

Now is the time to apply for a School of Business scholarship for next year.  School of Business scholarships do not automatically renew, so if you received one this year, it is important that you re-apply for next year.  If you did not get an award this year, that’s okay, you can still apply for an award next year.  To be eligible for an award, you must:

  • Be declared as a Business student and be making normal progress towards a BBA (all majors) or BA in Economics degree
  • Maintain a cumulative college GPA of 3.25 or higher (the higher the GPA, the better the award)
  • Submit this year’s School of Business Scholarship Application Form no later than February 15, 2024


Business is everywhere.

It can be found at your favorite boutique, your local gym, your doctor's office, and even the corner gas station.  Insurance, construction, banking, manufacturing, investments, government – the list is endless.  The Washburn University School of Business offers comprehensive curricula designed to help you develop the key skills that today's employers are looking for.  Our experienced and knowledgeable faculty and staff members are committed to preparing you to succeed.
