The Western Undergradute Exchange (WUE) helps you and other out-of-state students lower the cost of tuition at Eastern. In the 2011-2012 school year, the tuition savings for WUE recipients was $6,312. That's a huge benefit, and it's one we'd love to share with you.

The WUE award is renewable for freshman in good standing for up to four years. The award is renewable for transfer students in good standing for up to two years.

Who's Eligible?

The WUE Award is available on a limited basis to eligible undergraduate students from 14 participating western states (AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM, ND, OR, SD, UT, WY).

To be considered for WUE, you must submit a completed application for admission to Eastern no later than Feb. 15, 2012. Earlier application is encouraged. If you qualify, you will be automatically considered for a WUE award. There is no separate WUE application. Visit ewu.edu/apply to complete your application for admission.

Selection Criteria

Freshman must have an application GPA of at least 3.3 and have completed all required core courses. Transfers must have an application GPA of at least 2.7.

Small Print (a.k.a. Legalese)

WUE award recipients must maintain legal residence in a WUE state other than Washington. WUE recipients cannot use the time of their enrollment toward fulfilling Washington in-state residency requirements for tuition purposes. All Eastern academic programs are open to WUE students on a space-available basis. Note: Eastern's WUE award does not apply to students admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at the Intercollegiate Nursing Alliance. All BSN students must apply for and receive aid through Washington State University. Requirements for the WUE program are subject to change without notice.
