Whitinger Scholars Program
Scholarship Sponsored by Ball State University
The Whitinger Scholarship, named in honor of Dr. Ralph J. Whitinger, a distinguished 1929 alumnus and the inaugural president of the Ball State University Foundation, is the most prestigious scholarship offered by Ball State University. This scholarship is the hallmark of the Honors College and is designed to recognize and support eight incoming Honors College students each year who demonstrate exceptional potential.
The Whitinger Scholarship is a comprehensive award that covers full tuition, mandatory fees, and on-campus room and board. This includes both in-state and out-of-state tuition, all fees that are universally applicable to all students, and accommodation in a shared double room in the DeHority Complex, along with a meal plan that provides 14 meals per week. This coverage extends for eight semesters of undergraduate study.
It's important to note that if a student is the recipient of another merit-based scholarship from Ball State, such as the Presidential Scholarship or the Ball State Scholars Award, those funds will be applied first to tuition and fees. The Whitinger Scholarship will then be applied to any remaining tuition and fee charges, as well as on-campus room and board.
The selection process for the Whitinger Scholarship is rigorous and competitive. A committee evaluates each application based on academic ability, character, creativity, and leadership potential. To be considered for this prestigious award, applicants must meet the following criteria:
1. Submit an application to the Honors College by the priority deadline of November 16.
2. Gain acceptance to both Ball State University and the Honors College.
3. Achieve a high school GPA of 3.85 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).
4. Be a US citizen or a resident of Puerto Rico.
Remember, the Whitinger Scholarship is not just about financial support; it's about recognizing and nurturing exceptional potential.
