The Johnson Scholarship

Johnson Scholarships are awarded to approximately 10% of each entering class. Winners of the Johnson Scholarship receive awards of at least tuition, room
In addition, Johnson Scholars receive funding up to $7,000 to support summer experiences during their time at W&L. Internships, volunteer experiences or research projects are just a few of the ways Johnson Scholars may use these funds to explore the world and their own potential for leadership.
Finalists for Johnson Scholarships participate in an on-campus competition and are notified in late March of their status. All costs associated with attending the competition will be paid by Washington and Lee University, including travel expenses (airfare or mileage costs), meals and lodging for the duration of the competition.
