CWJC/CMJC Scholarships and Grants
Links to CWJC/CMJC grant and scholarship applications are available each fall. Applications must be submitted by February 1 of each year.
Sites with satellite locations should only submit one application. The application can be for one specific satellite site or for the entire site as a whole.
There is one application for participant awards and scholarships and one application for site grants. The selection committee will place applications in the category where they best fit.
Grants, scholarships, and awards are made possible by donations to the WMU Foundation.
