Eligibility for Puget Sound scholarships and grants is limited by the following policies:

  • Puget Sound scholarships and grants are awarded for the entire academic year and will be divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. Scholarships and grants cannot be applied to summer enrollment.
  • Puget Sound academic scholarships, Puget Sound Grant, Puget Sound Scholarship, and Puget Sound Opportunity Grant are available for up to 10 semesters. Named scholarships are available for 8 semesters. A semester of eligibility is counted if any portion of the award is used. Academic scholarship award amounts stay constant year over year, assuming eligibility criteria is met.
  • Puget Sound scholarships and grants require that you be enrolled each semester as a full-time student for at least three (3.0) academic units per semester, and/or paying the full-time undergraduate tuition rate.
  • Puget Sound scholarships and grants may only be applied towards the cost of Puget Sound tuition. If you receive other scholarships, grants, stipends, tuition remission or tuition exchange assistance designated to be used only for tuition and the sum of these awards exceed the cost of tuition, your scholarship or grant will be reduced or withdrawn until the amount of your tuition designed scholarship dollars equal the amount of tuition.
