Freshman Applicants

Freshman Applicants Requirements
High school units we recommend taking. . .

Students seeking admission to Tennessee Wesleyan College must have graduated from a secondary school approved by a recognized agency or have received a GED. It is recommended that students planning to attend Tennessee Wesleyan College complete course work in the following subject areas in high school: 4 units of English, 2 or more units of mathematics, 2 units of biological/natural science, 1 or more units of social studies, 1 unit of United States history.

Students must have a composite score of an 18 ACT or 870 SAT and a 2.25 unweighted GPA to be accepted. Students who do not meet prescribed entrance requirements of the college may be referred to the Enrollment and Academic Status Committee by the Director of Enrollment Services. Students admitted on probation must meet the College’s published retention standards and may enroll in no more than 15 semester hours during their first term of attendance.
TWC uses ACT/SAT super-scoring for acceptance and scholarship purposes; however, it does not apply to the Hope/Lottery Scholarship (TELS), federal/state assistance or NAIA athletic team eligibility.

SAT Super-scoring: Add together the highest math and critical reading score from all tests to determine the super-scored composite.

Scholarships

Every prospective Tennessee Wesleyan College student (with exception to evening students) who is planning to attend full time is eligible for an institutional award based on academic guidelines. Students qualifying for the Hope/Lottery Scholarship (TELS) will receive that amount in addition to other scholarships.

Athletic Scholarships are determined and awarded by TWC coaches. Interested students are encouraged to fill out a “Prospective Athlete" form which is found on the athletics page and contact the coach by phone or email. *Note: If a student receives an athletic scholarship it will not be combined with academic scholarship offers.
Academic Scholarships and Scholarship Competition Day Academically students are awarded an amount according to their ACT/SAT scores and GPA. Scholarships are renewable for three additional years as long as the student maintains certain GPA requirements. An approximate amount for which a student qualifies can be determined once Enrollment Services receives the student’s current transcript and all ACT/SAT scores.
Other Scholarships may also factor into the student's overall award package from TWC. Some scholarships may require a form to be completed and returned to the Admissions Office. Other scholarships include:
- Music Scholarships- Music scholarships are awarded based on an audition. These auditions can be arranged through the Music Department.
- Legacy Scholarship- Legacy scholarships are for students who have had a biological parent or grandparent graduate from Tennessee Wesleyan College.
- United Methodist- UMC scholarships are for students who are a member of a United Methodist Church.
- Dependant of United Methodist Minister- A scholarship for dependents of a United Methodist Minister.
- Junior Miss- A scholarship for students who have participated in the Junior Miss program. *Note: Documentation of participation is required.
- Cultural Diversity- Scholarship is based on ethnic background, financial need, community/church involvement and ACT/GPA.
