General Scholarship Application
The WSU General Scholarship Application now open for 2025-2026 academic year.
By applying for the WSU General Scholarship Application, you may become eligible for multiple scholarship opportunities. Even if your grades aren’t perfect, apply. Academic performance is important, but it isn’t the only thing that matters. Academic interests, talent, financial need, community service, leadership, career ambitions, campus involvement—any of these could qualify you for scholarship awards from WSU or from outside sources.
Awards can range from several hundred dollars to full coverage of tuition and expenses. In most circumstances, you can receive more than one scholarship at the same time. There’s nothing to lose…and a lot to gain. So get yourself ready and apply!
Scholarships for everyone
WSU offers 700+ scholarship programs; a single scholarship application allows you to be considered for all of them. We offer scholarships for every type of student:
The FAFSA is essential
WSU will use the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to determine eligibility for scholarships that take financial need into consideration. You’ll need to complete the FAFSA every year!
Undocumented Students
WSU has financial aid for you!
Undocumented students should complete the Washington Application for Student Financial Aid (WASFA) every year to be considered for state aid and WSU funding. You can also apply for WSU scholarships.
