Terms & Conditions

  • Your scholarship amount is expressed as an annual amount, of which half is available fall semester and half available spring semester for offset against full-time tuition charges on your student account.
  • This scholarship is available for fall and spring semesters only and cannot be applied to summer enrollment.
  • Eligibility for your scholarship requires that you be enrolled each semester as a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in at least three (3.0) academic units and paying full-time tuition.
  • Your Faculty Scholarship may only be applied towards Puget Sound tuition, not room, board or other expenses. If you receive other scholarships, grants, stipends, tuition remission or tuition exchange assistance designated to be used only for tuition, either through Puget Sound or from an outside source, and the sum of these awards, including the Faculty Scholarship, exceeds the cost of tuition, your Faculty Scholarship will be reduced or withdrawn until the total amount of your tuition-designated scholarship dollars equals the amount of tuition. Academic scholarship award amounts stay constant year over year, assuming eligibility criteria is met.
  • After successfully completing one academic year of study you may take up to a one-year formal leave of absence and retain your scholarship when returning to the university, as long as you continue to meet all other eligibility criteria.

To help build strong relationships with our donors, you may be asked to write a brief thank you letter acknowledging the generosity of the donor responsible for funding your scholarship.
