Undergraduate Scholarship
In alignment with the University of Washington’s commitment to advancing excellence through diversity and the College of Education’s commitment to increasing access to education for all people, the College of Education supports undergraduate students who contribute to the wide range of diverse experiences, values, perspectives, and skills that educators need to better serve all students. We are especially, but not exclusively, interested in applications from first-generation college students (neither parent or legal guardian has a Bachelor’s degree) and students from racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in the College of Education such as, but not limited to, the following: African American/Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, and underrepresented Asian American groups.
The Catherine Zesbaugh Scholarship and the Anderson-Olsen Scholarship were established as a mechanism to encourage and support economically disadvantaged students with an interest in teaching. The scholarships are provided to undergraduate students (juniors and seniors) who are interested in pursuing a career in education (elementary or secondary education). Selected students are provided a year long scholarship of $1500 per quarter and must meet additional requirements such as participation in a seminar course 1-credit seminar and/or completion of field studies in educational settings. Students must be in the Early Childhood & Family Studies (ECFS) major or the Education, Learning, & Society (ELS) minor in order to be eligible.
Application information and instructions will be available in February 2012 may be found here: https://catalyst.uw.edu/collectit/dropbox/edinfo/21798.
Travel Grants
The College of Education provides a limited number of travel grants to our graduate students who are making presentations at professional conferences and do not have other sources of funding. The money is limited; grants are approved on a first come basis until the funds are depleted. Each student may receive only one grant per academic year.
Students should investigate other sources of funding before applying for travel grants. Many conferences provide travel funds for graduate students. In addition, divisions or subgroups within larger organizations often provide funding for students (for example, divisions within AERA). Check conference and organization websites for potential opportunities.
Grants are administered and awarded by Faculty Council and may be used for airfare, lodging, mileage, and/or registration fees. The council has decided that for the 2012-2013 academic year, $300 will be the maximum awarded for each grant (or up to $500 for international travel - airfare only); the awards will be applied to the cost of the state contract airfare and/or lodging or $300, whichever is LESS. Reservations may be made through the College Fiscal Office or you may make reservations on your own.
The Graduate School provides some funds for student travel. Once a travel grant application is approved by the College of Education, the COE Fiscal Office may submit eligible travel funding requests to the Graduate School.
Application Process:
Students apply for funding by downloading and filling out the Travel Grant Application and submitting it by selecting "Student Application Submission.”
