Wilson Tuition Scholarship

Wilson and Distinguished Scholarships are the most prestigious awards given by the University of Jamestown to incoming freshmen. The Wilson Scholarship is established in memory of the late Dr. and Mrs. John L. Wilson. Four students are selected each year in recognition of their academic and leadership achievements. Four students receive full tuition awards and Wilson Scholarship Day participants who are not recipients of a Wilson Scholarship receive a $1,000 per year Distinguished Scholarship. These scholarships are renewable for up to four years.

Athletic Scholarship

Athletic scholarships are available for men and women participating in the Great Plains Athletic Conference. University of Jamestown does not stack athletic awards on top of our traditional scholarships. Student athletes who receive a scholarship package from an athletic program are not eligible for additional academic scholarships.

The Legacy Award is designed to honor families who have supported the University of Jamestown with enrolling and graduating two or more family members (parent, grandparent, brother or sister). This award is valued at $1,000 annually with a total value of $4,000 over four years.

Other Scholarship Awards

The University of Jamestown offers additional awards such as major-related and participation scholarships. For further information see the admissions office.
