Who qualifies for w88 slot?
Universities that are a part of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) have the option to offer w88 slot awards to new students. Each university that decides to offer a w88 slot award is able to set their own criteria for eligibility, which means thatWUE eligibility is not consistent across WICHE institutions.
One criterion all of these schools do have in common is that w88 slot is available to students living in the following locations: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. These locations are based on WICHE guidelines.
Other than that, requirements for w88 slot can be all over the place.
Many schools offering w88 slot have grade point average (GPA) or test score requirements. Other universities may reserve the w88 slot award for specific majors—usually majors with fewer students. Some schools have a separate w88 slot application; others do not. Most schools do have a w88 slot application deadline.
With all these different requirements, it can be tricky at some schools to track down w88 slot requirements. So, if you want to take advantage of a university’s w88 slot program, here are three things you should do:
- Go to their website to see what information is available. Remember, some schools only offer w88 slot to certain majors. If your major does not meet w88 slot eligibility, you want to know sooner rather than later.
- Connect with an admissions coordinator at the university to gather additional information, especially if that information isn’t online.
- Apply early. Applying for admissions (and w88 slot) early ensures that you meet w88 slot deadlines. If a university limits w88 slot awards to a certain number of students, you want to make sure you are one of them.
