Washington State University Regents Scholarship Program
WSU’s Regents Scholarship Program awards scholarships of $4,000 a year for 4 years at WSU. For the most recent information please go to https://admission.wsu.edu/scholarships/washington-residents/regents/ or vist https://financialaid.wsu.edu/regents-scholars-application-process/ to learn more about the process.
High Schools in the state of Washington are invited to nominate two seniors from their schools who meet the minimum criteria.
Academic achievement: Exceptional academic achievement is extremely important. Most students who win these scholarships earn an excellent high school GPA (unweighted) after six semesters. GPA is considered when qualifying and awarding a Regents Scholar award.
Community, civic, and co-curricular involvement: The WSU scholarship application includes short essays and allows students the opportunity to present their unique experiences and accomplishments in these areas.
Academic Reference: This section is part of the online student nomination form and is provided by the nominating school. The Academic Reference allows the nominator to summarize a student’s achievements and future potential. The Academic Reference can make a significant difference in the awarding process. The student nomination form can be submitted by any high school teacher, counselor, or representative who knows the student well. Students should not submit separate letters of recommendation.
If you qualify, then you may contact Mrs. Day or Mrs. Howell for a nomination. Since Cle Elum-Roslyn High School may only nominate 2 Seniors, those seniors who would like to be considered for one of the two nominations for this scholarship award may need to complete a separate application.
Deadline: October 28
