Western Washington University offers a variety of merit-based scholarships for new and continuing international students, up to $10,000 per year. Availability and amounts for scholarships are subject to change.
The First-Year IAA is a four-year merit scholarship awarded to a limited number of students who have demonstrated strong academic performance. Selection is based on information in the application for admission, including essay, secondary school transcripts, cumulative GPA, evidence of English proficiency, and submission of the application by the priority deadline; no additional scholarship application is required.
If selected, recipients are notified of their scholarship by email after the point of admission. IAA recipients will receive an annual reduction in non-resident tuition in the form of partial tuition waivers for up to four years.
A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required and students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 for annual renewal of award.
Scholarship Disclaimer: Western’s International Achievement Award (IAA) is available only to students who apply for admission using Western’s unique application for admission here. If you have any questions regarding your application or eligibility you are encouraged to contact International Admissions directly.
Students who are admitted conditionally pending successful completion of the Intensive English Program (IEP) may be eligible after successfully completing IEP and matriculating in credit-bearing classes at Western.
Scholarships cannot be applied to study abroad programs, off-campus, or other non-state supported programs.
