Why Invest your College Years with the WinShape College Program?

FAQs about our Ministry

How much is the scholarship amount for the program?

WinShape College Program students are affirmed to receive at minimum $16,000 from Berry in addition to the $16,000 in scholarship awarded from the WinShape Foundation.  

Students accepted into the program are guaranteed to receive at minimum $32,000 in scholarship funding per academic year. While the minimum from Berry will be $16,000, the make-up of Berry’s scholarship portion and final amounts are dependent on each student’s situation.

Are students eligible for additional scholarships and aid as a part of the WinShape College Program?

Yes! Students may combine outside scholarships they’ve received (for example: Pell Grant, Hope, student loans, etc.).

While each student’s financial aid package is unique to their situation, students can and are encouraged to pursue additional scholarships to help cover their undergraduate degree.

Do you offer tours of the program?

Yes! Tours are led by WinShape staff and include an overview of the program, time to answer any questions you might have, and a visit to our Residential Community dorms. Tours last around one hour and are available during typical business hours. To schedule a tour, call 800-448-6955 ext. 1121 or fill out the inquiry form!

Is Chick-fil-A restaurant experience required?

It is not required but is beneficial, as it provides great leadership experience for students prior to college. Many of our students bring some Chick-fil-A restaurant work experience.

How many students are enrolled in the program?

While enrollment varies, our current capacity is 125 students.

How many new students are admitted each year?

We typically enroll around 30-34 new students each year.

Do I have to apply to Berry College before I apply to the WinShape College Program?

No; however, you must be officially accepted to Berry College before we can review your file for potential interview and visit selection. It would be wise to apply to both Berry College and WinShape College Program at the same time.

Is the WinShape College Program a Christian Ministry? 

Yes! Our entire program is rooted in the Christian faith and biblical principles. You can read more about WinShape’s beliefs here!
