All students seeking scholarships and other types of financial assistance should send an Application for Financial Aid to the UW financial aid office by March 1. Prospective students seeking scholarships should also send an application for admission, the nonrefundable application fee and a copy of their current high school or college transcript to the UW Admissions Office by March1. Students who have attended another college must have that college submit an academic transcript by the UW Admissions Office. Allow four weeks for processing. Final responsibility for ensuring that all required documents are received in a timely manner rests with the applicant.
Most scholarships require the recipient to be enrolled full time.
Federal Pell Grants and Federal SEOG Grants are available to undergraduate students who have not completed the requirements for their first undergraduate degree. Classes for audit are not acceptable for any kind of financial aid. For details, ask a financial aid adviser. Aid recipients must make reasonable academic progress toward their degree to receive federal aid. Academic progress is checked once a year following the end of the spring semester.
