Scholarship Opportunities

School of Social Work Scholarships

School of Social Work students are awarded approximately $32,030 in scholarships each year—just one part of the $9.7 million EWU awards annually to nearly 1,500 students through a single scholarship application.

Scholarships aren’t just for top GPAs or athletes—they’re based on your major, background, community service, and more. And the best part? Scholarships are free money you don’t have to pay back.

Apply Nov. 1 – Feb. 1 with the EWU General Scholarship Application and open the door to funding your education.
