Southern Wesleyan University Dual Enrollment Scholarship
Students who successfully completed dual enrollment courses at SWU are eligible for scholarship funding toward a degree program as a full-time traditional student.
The scholarship amount will be equivalent to the student’s dual enrollment out-of-pocket tuition costs that were incurred on dual enrollment courses.
Example: If a student took 3 hours of dual credit courses at $100 per credit hour, they would have paid $300 out of pocket. SWU will return that to you in the form of a $300 scholarship. Students can take up to 60 hours of dual credit (60 hours at $100 per credit hour is $6,000!).
The courses must have been successfully completed, and total accumulation of scholarship dollars will be split evenly across remaining terms needed for degree completion.
