Need Based

Scholarships from Need-Based Funds are awarded primarily by financial need.  The foremost factor in determining financial need is family income.  The table below indicates income levels, based on the Walla Walla area and the number of people in your family for the 2013-14 academic year. These figures change each year.

If your family income is above these amounts, and you do not meet any of the criteria in the Special Requirement section, the Foundation does not encourage you to apply. If, however, your family income falls under these amounts, we strongly encourage you to apply.

1 Person Family $37,469
2 Person Family $42,822
3 Person Family $48,174
4 Person Family $53,527
5 Person Family $58,880
6 Person Family $64,233
7 Person Family $69,585
8 Person Family $74,938
