Scholarship Information & Criteria
The EWI Scholarship Program (EWISP) is an annual, competition-based program which awards more than $200,000 in college scholarship money to qualifying high school seniors each year.
EWISP has been recognized by Money Magazine as one of the top 12 scholarships in the United States. Students are nominated by their schools to participate in the scholarship competition. Judges select winning students based on their scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, good citizenship and extra-curricular activities.
High school students first apply for EWISP and then compete at the local Chapter level where award levels vary (Participating Chapters listed below). Chapter-level winners are submitted to the Corporate level for a chance to win one of six scholarships. Corporate scholarship awards range between $1,000 and $5,000.
- Open to high school seniors
- Compete at the Chapter level and have the opportunity to possibly compete at the Corporate level
