Visit Scholarship

Incoming first-year and transfer students enrolling in fall 2021 who participate in a qualifying 2020-21 on-campus visit program are eligible to receive a one-time, $1,000 Visit Scholarship to cover tuition. Starting Oct. 14, 2020, these students can also qualify for the scholarship by registering for and fully participating in two of our virtual visit programs. Students can only qualify for one Visit Scholarship in total.

IMPORTANT: Washington State Governor Jay Inslee issued a new travel advisory stating that persons arriving to Washington from other states or countries should practice self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival in the state of Washington. Because of this, we are only able to accommodate Washington state residents until further notice. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
