JOHNSON SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
The Johnson Scholarship Program is W&L's merit-based scholarship program, recognizing approximately 44 outstanding first-year students with scholarship awards of at least tuition, room and board. Students with financial need above this amount will have any additional need met by the scholarship. In addition, Johnson Scholars receive funding up to $10,000 to support summer experiences during their time at W&L.
Applicants who wish to be considered for a Johnson Scholarship must submit a required application essay with a completed Common App by December 1, 2024, regardless of the applicant's admission plan. Doing so also ensures your consideration for all other available merit scholarships for which you may be eligible. Applying for the Johnson Scholarship Program does not constitute an early decision application and is not binding.
Scholarship finalists will be named with particular attention given to their records of academic achievement, demonstrated leadership and civic involvement, and their Johnson Scholarship application essays.
An admission plan selection (Regular or Early Decision) is required in the General section of your W&L application to proceed.
