Scholarship Central
The 2024-25 Scholarship Central general application is open October 1, 2023 through April 1, 2024. Individual departments may have earlier or extended deadlines. Continuing students and new CWU applicants can access over 350 scholarships through this general application.
List of CWU ScholarshipsHow to Apply
The Scholarship Central general application is available to all current students and to new CWU applicants with access to the MyCWU student portal.Once you complete the general application, you will be added to the applicant pool of one or more scholarships. Some may have additional requirements: an essay, letters of recommendation, etc. As long as you complete those requirements by the deadline, you can be considered for the scholarship.
A few scholarships will direct you to an academic department or other office to complete the application. Scholarship Central shows you meet the minimum qualifications but you will need follow up with those contacts to be considered.

Current CWU Students
Current students can access the Scholarship Central application via their student portal:
My.CWU.Edu > Student Dashboard > Financial > Scholarship Application
Once you complete the general application, keep in mind that your student records are updated periodically. Your Fall Quarter grades may impact your eligibility, as will your FAFSA or WASFA data once it becomes available.
-
New CWU Applicants
Once you have applied to CWU it takes a few days before your admissions data is connected to the Scholarship Central application. We recommend you wait at least a week after you receive your MyCWU username before trying to log in to the application.
If you receive an error message, wait another day or two, and try again. If you are still unsuccessful, email CWU Scholarships so we can investigate.
The breadcrumbs are the same as for current students:
My.CWU.Edu > Student Dashboard > Financial > Scholarship Application
Your eligibility will change as you move through the process to confirm admission to CWU. Log back in to the application periodically to see if new scholarship opportunities become available to you.
