The scholarships listed below are open to students in any program unless otherwise noted.
University of Western States has established a written award procedure that uses a committee to select scholarship recipients and complies with the financial aid office in accordance with the university policies and procedures. Scholarships will be awarded to recipients selected by the UWS scholarship committee.
The office of financial aid will notify applicants in writing via email who have been selected to receive scholarships within the first three weeks of the term. The award letter indicates the name of the scholarship, amount awarded and duration of the scholarship. If the scholarship is more than $1,000, the total scholarship will be disbursed to student accounts evenly during that fiscal year unless otherwise noted as part of the scholarship award. Awards less than $1,000 will be disbursed in total during the term in which the scholarship is available.
