THE WISE "EARN TO LEARN" FRAMEWORK
NOT JUST A SCHOLARSHIP!
A SMARTER WAY TO EMPOWER STUDENTS
At the heart of WISE is the Earn to Learn model— a structured 100-point system over four years designed to create an even playing field, where WISE participants actively engage in their success. The program is built on three primary pillars, each contributing 30 points over four years, forming the foundation of WISE.
Alongside the three pillars, an additional 10 points are earned through reference letters and a final exit essay, completing the 100-point system that determines total scholarship funding earned.
SCHOLARSHIP AWARD GUIDELINES
Using the cumulative score, we determine the scholarship amounts to be awarded.
