Apply for all of your scholarships and tuition awards with this single process. Here are the steps for what you need to do to apply for each award.

There are no separate application forms to fill out. You should submit a packet of all required materials specific to each scholarship and tuition award description.

Some materials, like letters of recommendations and transcripts, can be sent separately. However, we recommend you submit all of your materials together in a single packet so that you know your applications are complete. We may not be able to confirm that we’ve received your other materials until after March 5, 2018, due to the large volume we receive.

Tips for Scholarship Applications

Notification of awards begins April 1, 2018, and continues through July 31, 2018.

Amounts listed are based on awards determined in August 2017. Amounts for 2018–19 may vary.

Tuition and fees for 2018–19 are subject to change by the 2018 Washington State Legislature.

Note for New Students

It is possible that you might submit your scholarship and tuition award packets before you submit an admissions application. However, to be eligible for a scholarship or tuition award, you must be offered admission to the college. Therefore, it is critical that new students complete the application for admission prior to February 1, 2018.

We recommend applying for admission, awards, and financial aid at the same time.

Apply for 2018–19 Scholarships and Tuition Awards

1. Compose a Letter of Application

   This letter should include your name, student identification number (if you have one), current address, email address, and the specific name of the scholarship or tuition award for which you are applying. The letter of application should address your talents, achievements, and needs as they relate to that scholarship or tuition award.

   Below is an example of the information you should include:

   The Evergreen (name of scholarship)
   Your name
   A00000000 (your student id number, if you have one)
   Your address
   Your email address

2. Include Letters of Recommendation

   Include all letters of recommendation required for each packet. These letters should support the talents, achievements and needs discussed in your letter of application. Letters of recommendation are not confidential.

3. Include Your Transcripts

   When transcripts are required, use the following guidelines. You can submit unofficial academic transcripts for scholarship purposes.

   1. New students with fewer than 40 transferable credits should submit high school transcripts, as well as college transcripts.
   2. Transfer students with 40 or more transferable credits should submit transcripts from all previous colleges.
   3. Currently enrolled Evergreen students should submit copies of Evergreen evaluations. If you do not have copies of your evaluations, you can request copies from Registration and Records. Allow 10 days for processing.

   Note: You can submit a preliminary academic transcript for scholarship purposes. The Office of Admissions, however, requires official copies.

4. Apply for Financial Aid

   If demonstrated financial need is part of the selection criteria, you must apply for financial aid for the 2018–19 academic year.

   • The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available beginning October 1.
   • Undocumented Washington resident students can apply through the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) beginning October 1.

   It is recommended that you submit your 2018–19 FAFSA or WASFA application no later than January 1 so our Financial Aid Office will receive the results by February 1. Evergreen’s school code is: 008155. Please do not submit a copy of the financial aid application along with your scholarship application. If you meet the deadline, our scholarship committees will get your information automatically from our Financial Aid Office.

5. Include Your Portfolio

   If you submit a portfolio as part of the application process, please submit copies or photographs. Do not submit originals of your work. You can retrieve your materials later, but we cannot assume liability for damaged or lost work.

6. Submit Your Application Packet

   Submit all application packets by 5 pm, February 1, 2018 (excluding the Merit Award, due May 1, 2018) to:

   UG Scholarships
   c/o Office of Enrollment Services
   The Evergreen State College
   Library 1245
   2700 Evergreen Parkway NW

   Submitted application packets become the property of the college, with the exception of portfolio materials, tapes, DVDs and CDs. Please retrieve portfolio materials no later than October 15, 2018. For more information, call (360) 867-6310 or email us.
