Financial aid and funding opportunities
We know that attending graduate school is a significant investment of time and money. Fortunately, there are many financial aid and funding opportunities that can help alleviate some or much of the burden. We encourage you to explore the many scholarship, grant, loan and work-study options available that help make paying for graduate school as affordable an investment as possible.
The primary source of financial aid for Evans School students comes from the University of Washington (UW) office of Student Financial Aid. The most common forms of UW-administered financial aid are Stafford or Perkins (NDSL) loans, as well as work study awards and other grants. Applicants and students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the annual deadline for priority consideration.
In addition to the resources below, the Evans School has compiled a list of external funding opportunities that may be relevant to students applying to Evans School academic programs.
Please note that the Evans School does not participate in the State Employee Tuition Exemption Program for Washington State employees, with the exception of those approved for enrollment as graduate non-matriculated students. Students enrolled in Evans School degree programs are not eligible for Tuition Exemption.
