Alumni Class Gift Scholarships

Posted on by

Applications are now open for three alumni class gift scholarship programs for UW undergrads in all fields at all three campuses. All applications have deadlines of April 8, 2016.

Class of 1962 Endowed Scholarship

  • The Class of 1962 Endowed Scholarship provides financial assistance to
    current undergraduate students at UW.  The donors to this endowment,
    members of the University of Washington Class of 1962, wish to target
    support to students who may not qualify for financial aid but for whom the
    cost of attending the University poses significant financial challenges.
    The donors aim to fund “the gap”: the growing number of middle-class
    students, many of whom do not qualify for federal funding or Husky Promise
    and must take out student loans and work full- or part-time to support
    their education.

To be eligible for this scholarship, students must be:

  • Undergraduates – freshmen, sophomores, juniors and non-graduating
    seniors (seniors are not eligible unless they intend to enroll as
    full-time students in at least summer or fall quarter 2016),
  • Washington State residents
  • Have a 3.3 minimum GPA
  • Demonstrate academic merit, leadership and service
  • Students who don’t qualify for most (or any) forms of free financial
    aid, must take out student loans and work full- or part-time to support
    their education, and for whom the cost of attending the UW poses
    significant financial challenges.
