More than 300 students from across the nation visited campus over the weekend for Wabash's annual Honor Scholarship Weekend.

Of the 350, about two-thirds will end up actually attending Wabash, said Dean of Admissions Steve Klein. Wabash typically admits 650 students out of 1,400 applicants to make up a class of 250.

Each student was required to take four exams. Their cumulative scores on the tests — spanning English, math, a choice of science and a choice between a foreign language or history — are factored into scholarship money. The college will have more than $3 million up for grabs in the scholarship competition with the top prize being $20,000 per year for four years. The tests have no bearing on admissions to the college.
The weekend marked the 114th year Wabash has hosted the merit-based scholarship competition. Eighty-five out-of-state students were registered for the weekend from as far east as New Jersey and as far west as Arizona. Six international students also attended.
