The EWI Scholarship Program (EWISP) is an annual, competition-based program which awards more than $200,000 in college scholarship money to qualifying high school juniors each year.
 
ewisp-logo-taglineEWISP has been recognized by Money Magazine as one of the top 12 scholarships in the United States. Students are nominated by their schools to participate in the scholarship competition. Judges select winning students based on their scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, good citizenship and extra-curricular activities.

To date, the International EWISP Program has awarded over $400,000 in scholarships to high school juniors from all over the United States and Canada and more than 36% of our 89 EWI chapters participate at some level in the EWISP program.

High school students first apply for EWISP and then compete at the local Chapter level where award levels vary (Participating Chapters). Chapter-level winners are submitted to the National level for a chance to win one of six scholarships.
