“As a transfer student, I was blinded by the weight of my circumstances, but I discovered WIU’s resources which helped me see success as a reality.”

SCHOLARSHIPS
I graduated from Joliet Junior College with my associate of arts degree and found out about Western through family that were attending. The outstanding professors have gone to great personal lengths to make the courses offered at WIU feel applicable to the real-world setting, making the class content and discussions relevant. It is due to this that I feel confident in both my professional and personal life. Harrison`24, Psychology
