Heritage Scholarships
The Heritage Scholarships are awarded to students
with special gifts in the liberal arts and sciences who have demonstrated
their academic potential, critical curiosity, and passion for learning.
The Heritage Scholarship was established in 2001 by an anonymous donor to encourage students with significant need, who have grown up in small towns, to consider attending Wake Forest. These scholarships are awarded to students with a commitment
to sharing their special gifts through service, in the spirit of the University's motto, Pro Humanitate. To read more about this historic gift, follow these links:

This is a competitive need-based scholarship, and applicants must file the admissions application, as well as the CSS Profile and FAFSA forms to demonstrate financial need. They should register for
the PROFILE service between October 1 and December 1 and file
a PROFILE by January 1, so that need may be determined before
selection of finalists. Applicants should complete the FAFSA
by March 1. |
