WWU Scholarships and Diversity Initiatives

More than 60% of WWU students receive financial aid, but much of it has to be paid back. Across the nation, student loan debt has exceeded credit card debt. You can help the next generation launch their careers without this crippling burden.

Your gift to one of the scholarships listed below will provide much needed help to students! Thank you!
