Admissions
Wells Scholarship
Wells Science Scholarship
The Wells Scholarship in the Sciences is a full-tuition scholarship
awarded to one outstanding Science student in each class. Candidates
should present an exemplary high school record that demonstrates a
sustained interest in one of the Sciences, evidence of advanced course
work, and potential for significant contributions to Denison's Science
Departments and/or Programs. Coursework taken in high school should
include four years of mathematics and four years of science, including
physics. The scholarship is renewable each year if the stipulated grade
point
average is maintained (higher each successive year).
Successful candidates normally will have a high school class rank in
the top 5% of their graduating class and combined SAT scores of
approximately 1300 or above or an ACT composite score in the range of 30
or above. Candidates must also interview with a Denison representative on campus
or in their home area.
Please note! Unlike our other scholarships, students
interested in being considered for the Wells must apply for the
scholarship directly (see below). The same is true for Denison's Dunbar Scholarship in the Humanities. Students
are not
allowed to
apply for both, as the intention is to award the Wells to a student who
intends to major in a Science discipline.
