College of Education Scholarships

The College of Education, through its Faculty Council, distributes a number of scholarships annually.  Most of these scholarships are possible through the generous gifts of alums and other supporters of the College of Education.

Eligibility

Only current and incoming College of Education students are eligible for College of Education scholarships.  Some scholarships have additional, specific criteria based on the intent of the donor(s).  These criteria are listed below. 

To be considered for need-based scholarships, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have it on file in the UW Office of Student Financial Aid by the scholarship application deadline.   Eligibility regarding need-based financial aid is determined by the FAFSA.  International students: If you have a Social Security number, you may submit a FAFSA form by mailing it to the office listed in the instructions.  If you do not have a Social Security number, you can have the form evaluated by the UW Office of Student Financial Aid.  This needs to be done as soon as possible.

Criteria for Evaluating College Scholarship Applications

  • Academic history shows merit: strong academic record, consistency with goal statement, academic awards or honors
  • Goals related to education: clear, thoughtful goals, consistent with choices and current experience.
  • Life experience: linked broadly to education or learning; clear relationship between experience and goals; nonacademic awards and experience, service and volunteer work; experience with diverse groups or cultures; obstacles overcome.
  • Potential to contribute to field of education: collegiality, enthusiasm, professional involvement, leadership, diverse talents or background.
