Important Notes
Deadlines are subject to change; check often. Campus deadlines refer to those scholarships which require a university nomination. These deadlines are well in advance of the actual postmarked deadline. Deadlines refer to the date an application must be received by the association that is making the award. Although a campus deadline may not be necessary, all students are encouraged to seek assistance through the Fellowships Office with all scholarship applications. The Fellowships Office (Howarth 114J) has specific guidelines and deadlines for external fellowships and scholarships for the current year.
Applicants should and in some cases must consult with faculty in the Center for Writing & Learning (253.879.3404) for review of application essays and personal comments.
