Scholarship Central: Prospective Freshman Students

To apply for CWU scholarships visit the CWU scholarship web site at http://www.cwu.edu/~scholar/index.html The 2008-2009 CWU General Scholarship Application Guidelines will be available on this web site during the third week of November and will provide information and detailed instructions to complete the electronic application. The deadline to submit the application and additional materials required (when necessary) to the Scholarship Office is on or before March 1 of each year.

The Athletic Department offers aid based on athletic ability to academically qualified students. Individual coaches identify recipients through their recruiting process. For more information, visit the CWU Wildcat Athletics web site.

The scholarships offered by the Departments of Art, Music, and Theater Arts are available to both entering and currently enrolled students at CWU. For more information, visit their respective department websites.

New students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the March 1 Financial Aid Office priority deadline each year to be considered for need-based tuition waivers and scholarships. Entering freshmen who meet the merit-based AI requirement and have need as calculated by the Federal Need Analysis Formula will receive a comparable need-based tuition waiver. New students who qualify for a tuition waiver through the admission process will not receive a duplicate need-based award.
