Scholarship Central : Prospective Transfer Students

Tuition Waivers

To recognize the academic achievement of talented transfer students, CWU awards a limited number of merit-based waivers to students admitted to CWU on or before February 1 of each year and who will start in the upcoming fall. The tuition waivers are based on applicants' incoming academic records and are awarded for the first year of instruction only. High achievers who have a GPA between 3.5 and 4.0 will be offered up to $1,500 by the Admissions Office. There is no application form to complete in order to be considered for tuition waivers.
