International Scholarships
Eligibility
To receive financial aid including scholarships through the Office of Student Financial Aid or Office of Undergraduate Admissions & Scholarships you must be a citizen of the United States or have permanent resident status. The standard documentation for a permanent resident of the United States is the Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551, since 1997) or Resident Alien Card (Form I-551, before 1997).
You are not eligible for financial aid if:
- You have only a Notice of Approval to Apply for Permanent Residence (I-717 or I-464)
- You are in the United States on an F1 or F2 student visa only
- You are in the United States on a J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa only
There are scholarships and fellowships awarded through The Graduate School that do not include citizenship or permanent resident status as a criterion.
Information about financial aid sources outside of WSU for international students is available on the Web at www.edupass.org/finaid
