The Office of Scholar Development (OSD) mentors students applying for nationally competitive scholarships that fund “academic extras” beyond what’s covered in tuition, such as study abroad, research, professional experience, and more.

From first drafts to final submissions with multiple revisions in between, OSD helps students make more possible regardless of their major or means. By conceptualizing and revising the stories they tell in application essays and interviews, students better understand their strengths, interests, and purpose—and explore multiple possible pathways to that work.

We are located on the first floor of the Dixie and Peter Mahurin Honors College-International Center on Normal Street. Please email OSD at osd@wku.edu for more information or to schedule an appointment.
