Local Scholarship Listings & More

WSU wants students to have access to scholarships, including from external organizations. Due to the vast number of scholarship opportunities available, students are encouraged to utilize external search engines or lists, such as those listed below, to access scholarships for students based on a wide number of factors, including study areas and personal characteristics.

If you are aware you will be receiving a scholarship from a non-WSU or non-State of Washington donor, please give the Scholarship Submission Designation Award (PDF) form to the donor as soon as you are aware of the award. They can send the form and check together to the Bursar’s Office, and it will help them designate how the scholarship is to be applied to your student account.
