Apply for a UW Tacoma Scholarship

Due to decreases in the stock market, the University's endowment income has been reduced. As a result of this reduction and continued budget uncertainties, scholarship applications for 2009-2010 will be delayed until the state budget is settled. We expect this to be late May/early June.

Applications are available approximately 4-6 weeks before the due date.
