Scholarships Are Awarded Yearly
Most scholarships are for one academic year. If you received a scholarship last year, you will need to apply again unless your scholarship letter indicated it was a renewable award. If you miss the deadline, you cannot apply again until the following academic year.
Financial Need
To qualify for a need-based scholarship you must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the Federal Student Aid Program or a Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) with The Washington Student Achievement Council.
We recommend filing the FAFSA and WASFA by UW priority deadline of January 15th, to receive timely information for scholarship purposes.
If you miss the January deadline, we still encourage you to submit a FAFSA and WASFA, as these are sometimes accepted past the deadline.
Most scholarships are awarded to students who can demonstrate financial need. For this reason, all students should consider applying for UW Financial Aid, even if you do not think that you will be eligible. The scholarship committee uses the FAFSA and WASFA information to assist with selections even if it is determined that you are not eligible for support by the UW Financial Aid Office.
