'Why Western' video contest for incoming students ends Jan. 31

Western is looking for hard-working students who are focused on building successful lives and careers for themselves and strong futures for their families and communities. This competition is a creative way for incoming students to help pay for college and is not just available to those with outstanding grades and test scores, but to any student willing to think outside the box.

The Why Western? Video Scholarship Contest allows freshman applicants to introduce themselves to the scholarship committee and showcase their talents beyond the traditional scholarship applications, transcripts, and essays.
