If you are providing scholarship assistance for a Western Carolina University student,
please submit the Outside Scholarship Donor Form to our office. This form enables us to appropriately disburse scholarship funds
by receiving the following information from you:
The term(s) in which the funds are to be disbursed (fall, spring, summer A or summer B; split evenly fall/spring, etc.): Please note
that our usual practice is to split academic year funds evenly between fall and spring
semesters.
Donor name, address, contact phone number and an e-mail address (if available): In the event that the student withdraws before receiving the funds or does not enroll,
we will need to return the funds to the donor.
Enrollment status: Is the student required to be enrolled full-time (12 hours for undergraduate students
and 9 hours for graduate students) or is the student eligible to receive the funds
with less than full-time enrollment?
