The deadline to Refer a Scot for students entering in Fall of 2026 has passed.

Do you know a high school senior (or college transfer student) who would be a great match for Wooster? If so, we invite you to complete this online referral form with their details. If a referred student enrolls, they will receive a Refer a Scot Award, money towards the cost of books in their first year!

The Refer a Scot Award is a $500 credit for textbooks purchased at The College of Wooster Robert C. Mayer Bookstore within the Fall 2026 semester and Spring 2027 semester. All first-year and transfer students with a referral form completed by December 15, 2025, who are then admitted and enroll for the Fall 2026 semester, will receive the Award.

Wooster students gain a powerful perspective and develop key career skills during their time on campus to fuel their success after graduation. See what some of our alumni have accomplished post-Wooster.
