The MLK GOLD Scholarship is designed for students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to diversity and community involvement—whether through leadership, civic engagement, or service in communities beyond their own—and who will contribute meaningfully to the diversity of our campus through their experiences in schools, organizations, and personal lives. Students eligible for the MLK GOLD are admitted as first-year students to WMU. Transfer students are ineligible to apply, except in cases where transfer credits are obtained through dual enrollment or early/middle college.
