Application Deadline: April 5, 2021 at 12:00pm (noon) Pacific Time

Awards will be announced in early May 2021.

Eligibility: Scholarships are available for undergraduate students pursuing a major in the College of the Environment. Previous recipients may re-apply. Award decisions are based upon a combination of academic merit and financial need. At this time, all College of the Environment Scholarships require that students have unmet financial need as determined by the University of Washington Office of Student Financial Aid. Thus, you must have a current FAFSA or WASFA on file to be considered for these scholarships. Note: outdated, incomplete or missing forms will result in disqualification.

Award Amounts: Award amounts for all scholarships vary depending on availability of funds, but typically range from $2,000-$5,000 annually. Award amounts will be distributed over the course of Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters during the 2021-2022 academic year, paid directly to the recipient’s student account.

To apply for one or more College of the Environment Scholarships, please complete the Scholarship Application Survey  which will require you to submit the following:

1. Unofficial Transcripts from UW (pdf format)
2. Personal Statement of Academic and Professional Goals (pdf or Word document, 1 page maximum) which includes your intended major if you are undeclared. Be sure to provide your full name at the top of this document. Please describe your academic and professional goals. Comment on your progress towards completing course requirements for your major/degree. Describe any other relevant experiences that have influenced your academic path, such as internships, volunteer work, research, outreach, etc. If applicable, describe barriers or challenges that you have faced in pursuing this field of study.

Name your files using this format: 
Lastname.Firstname_Transcripts.pdf
Lastname.Firstname_Statement.pdf (or .doc or .docx)

Your application will not be complete, and therefore will not be considered, if you have not submitted all of these materials.

**Important Note: once you start the survey, you will NOT be able to save your work in draft form and come back later to finish. Therefore, be sure you have your files (Unofficial Transcripts and Personal Statement) ready and available for upload before you begin.
