Eastern Washington University USA Scholarships

Eastern Washington University’s scholarships are available through a single EWU Scholarship Application. The page explains that scholarships can come from the university, programs of study, high schools, organizations, employers, and others, and that many scholarship applications open in the fall or winter with deadlines February through May. EWU states it gives over $9.7 million in scholarships to nearly 1,500 students each year through one single application.

Applicants can be considered if they submit an admissions application to EWU or are already enrolled in an EWU bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, or other post-baccalaureate program. The page also notes that automatic awards and additional freshman awards apply when students apply for admission, and that transfer students may be considered for certain transfer scholarships through the general scholarship application.

EWU’s eligibility is tied to meeting a minimum GPA requirement (usually 2.80) and submitting the required admissions application to EWU or being enrolled in an eligible EWU program. The page also states selection uses the information provided in the scholarship application, including essays and other major-specific materials where required.

The page describes how long some specific awards last: the automatic freshman scholarships are “four-year renewable,” and the freshman honors scholarship provides $1,000 each year on top of any other EWU scholarships, with the requirement to participate in the Honors Program to receive the award. EWU also states that it administers scholarship notifications after review begins, with notifications going out in late April.
