Remove Barriers. Open Doors.

At WWU Peninsulas, scholarships make it possible for students to stay enrolled, finish their degrees, and build their futures right here at home.

For our students, this is what makes it possible

Many students at WWU Peninsulas are balancing full-time work, family responsibilities, and rising costs. A large number are the first in their families to attend a university.

For them, financial support is not extra. It is essential.

As access to funding, including federal financial aid, becomes more limited and the cost of education continues to rise, scholarships are often the difference between stopping out and staying on track.

Your support helps keep that path open so that students can continue to learn where they live.

The Challenge is Growing

Students across our region are facing increasing financial pressure.

• Tuition and living costs continue to rise 
• Federal loan changes are limiting borrowing options, especially in our Education, Environment, and Nursing programs
• Many students are working while enrolled 
• First-generation students are navigating systems without built-in support 

Scholarships provide immediate relief and long-term impact.

What your gift does

• Helps students stay enrolled when finances become a barrier 
• Reduces the need for additional loans 
• Supports first-generation students navigating higher education 
• Allows students to focus on learning instead of financial stress 
• Keeps students on track to graduate and enter the workforce

An investment that stays local

When you give to scholarships at WWU Peninsulas, you are investing in students who are already part of this community.

They go on to become educators, healthcare professionals, business leaders, and advocates across the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas.

Your support does more than help a student today. It strengthens our region for years to come.
