Priority Scholarship Application Dates


UW Tacoma has established priority scholarship application dates for freshmen and transfer students. If you submit your application for admission by this date, you will automatically be considered for these merit-based scholarship funds. If you are awarded a scholarship, it will be noted in your offer of admission to UW Tacoma. You do not need to complete any additional forms.

Scholarship Open to Award Deadline
First Step Scholarship
Based on admission application; separate application not required.
New freshmen only $1,000 and up over two years Jan. 15
Transfer Priority Scholarship
Based on admission application; separate application not required.
New transfer students only $1,500 and up over one year Feb. 15

Transfer students must only have completed their application to the University; they do not have to have completed their program application (if required).

Need-based and other merit scholarships are available after these deadlines with a separate application. To be considered for need-based scholarships, be sure to complete a FAFSA before Feb. 28.
