Prizes and scholarships offer valuable opportunities to recognize and reward academic excellence.
Prizes are awarded based on outstanding academic performance and typically do not require an application. While they are usually of lesser monetary value than scholarships, they serve as important acknowledgments of student achievement.
Scholarships, on the other hand, must be applied for at the start of the academic year and generally offer greater financial support.

Scholarships
Scholarships offer significant financial support and must be applied for by the first week of May each academic year. Most are available to current UWI students, with some open to students across all disciplines. Those pursuing a double major - particularly with Accounting or Management as a second major - may be eligible for additional scholarship opportunities.
