The Domingo-Viernes Scholarship provides $6,000 in financial support to either graduate students or entering freshmen or transfer students to the University of Washington who are committed to the principles of justice and equality and have demonstrated financial need. Students at any of the University of Washington’s three campuses (Seattle, Tacoma, or Bothell) are eligible.

The scholarship is awarded yearly to either graduate students or entering freshmen or transfer students to any of the University of Washington’s three campuses (Seattle, Tacoma, or Bothell). Non-citizen students can apply. In their applications, students must show commitment to the principles of justice and equality and demonstrate financial need through FAFSA or WASFA. Students with an interest in labor studies or a family background in labor and social justice are encouraged to apply.
