The Office of Merit Scholarships is ready to support UW undergrads and
bachelor's alumni along their scholarship application journey! This autumn
we have workshops and information sessions focused on everything from
starting the scholarship search process to personal statement writing.
Students interested in applying for scholarships, as well as grad school,
entry to majors, and other academic programs should find these sessions
helpful. 

 

Please encourage your undergrads to connect with us! More dates and sessions
