Visit Scholarship

There's no better way to explore your seminary options than by visiting campus and connecting with staff and faculty face to face. We want you to make a well-informed decision about where to get your seminary education—so much so that we'd like to make a visit to campus more than worth your while. If you connect with Western in a personalized campus visit or attend a Preview Day event you may qualify for our Visit Scholarship.

$661 (or more!) off your education costs

The Visit Scholarship is valued at the dollar amount of one credit of master's-level tuition, which is $661 for most students in the 2023-2024 academic year, or $693 for Portland Counseling students.

How do I qualify?

• Attend a campus visit with a member of our Admissions team. When staff schedules permit, a visit should involve a tour, meeting with a faculty member, and sitting in on a class.
• Alternatively, you may attend a Preview Day event (including our Virtual Previews!)
• Apply and get admitted to a master's degree program (this excludes Non-Degree, ASC, GSC, GSD, and Doctoral programs).
• In your first semester, and within one calendar year of your visit to campus, enroll in at least four credits (half-time). This excludes returning students or graduates who enroll again to complete an additional program.

How do I apply?

No need! If you qualify to receive it, the award is automatically applied toward the balance on your student account during your first semester of enrollment. The award may be used only to pay tuition expenses.

I've got some more questions...

You bet. You can contact an Admissions Counselor to learn more about the Visit Scholarship. They can also help you to set up your own personalized visit or get RSVP'd for an upcoming Virtual Visit.
