Financial Aid and Scholarships

Eastern Washington University awards over $1.9 million in scholarships to nearly 1,000 students each school year. There are scholarships based on major, hometown, community service and more!

Who Should Apply

Eligibility requirements for EWU scholarship awards vary depending on criteria specified by the donor. In most cases, recipients must have a minimum 2.80 cumulative grade point average (GPA). NOTE: The Eastern Advantage Program will consider all qualified applicants regardless of GPA.

Any student meeting the minimum GPA requirement who is either enrolled in a degree-seeking program or has submitted an admissions application to EWU may be considered for an award. This includes undergraduate, post baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral students.
