Countless Opportunities
While UWS offers several institutional scholarships, we encourage you to also pursue external opportunities to help cover tuition costs and other expenses. This page is not intended to be an exhaustive list but rather a starting point for exploring other available scholarship options.
External scholarships are awarded by organizations not affiliated with University of Western States. As such, we do not officially endorse any of the following opportunities—it is your responsibility to review and verify all details before applying. You should never pay for any scholarship or scholarship service.
