- Good to know
- The listing covers distinct Wofford Scholars award levels; amounts and benefits depend on the selected award. Renewal follows the individual award letter. General Wofford Scholars permits self-nomination, but Richardson specifically requires a high-school counselor nomination. Older 2025-26 handbook GPA figures should not be projected onto a 2027 offer.
