Scholarships offered through Webster's Vienna campus can only be applied to courses taken at the Vienna campus, and eligibility requirements vary according to the specific scholarship in question.

Students must apply for admission and be accepted to the Vienna campus before they can apply for Webster Vienna scholarships. Applicants should inform their admissions officer of their interest in scholarships during the admissions process so there is enough time for the scholarship application process.

• Eligibility: Only accepted students who have at least the equivalent GPA of 3.0 (out of 4.0 on the American scale) and the appropriate English proficiency (above ESL-level) are eligible to apply if the starting date is the upcoming fall term. If you are not able to afford at least 50% of the tuition, please do not apply for a scholarship since all scholarship awards are up to a max of  50% of tuition. Transfer students from other universities are not eligible to apply.

• Application deadline: May 3, 2013 for the 2013-2014 academic year. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.

Decision: Upon receipt of the scholarship application with all supporting documentation, the scholarship committee will consider a student for each scholarship for which (s)he is eligible. All scholarships will be awarded by the scholarship committee on the basis of academic excellence and financial need. Students will be notified within one month.

Because students cannot apply for a scholarship until they have been accepted to Webster University, students who are interested in scholarships should apply for admission as early as possible. However, if you are interested in a scholarship, you can start with preparing the following information.
