Washington State University (WSU), Pullman

Washington State runs its scholarships through one general application, which is the first thing to know: a single WSU scholarship form puts you in the pool for the university's general awards and a large share of the named funds listed below, including the donor and memorial scholarships this page carries. Applying once and being considered many times is the actual model here, so the general application deadline matters more than any single award's.

International students at WSU face higher tuition than Washington residents, and institutional aid for students from abroad is mostly merit based. WSU does award non-resident and international students through the same general pool, but funding rarely covers full costs, so most international students combine a partial WSU award with other sources. Graduate funding runs through departments, with research and teaching assistantships carrying most doctoral students.

The college-based awards and writing and subject prizes below are separate tracks with their own rules, so check the provider and eligibility lines before applying. WSU's scholarship portal, reachable from each card, shows the current application window, and the deadline that matters for most students is the one on the general application, not the individual funds.
