Does anyone have information about the qualifications for the Purple and Gold Scholarship at UW or any helpful information about the selection process? Thanks!
The Purple and Gold Scholarship at the University of Washington (UW) is available specifically for non-resident undergraduate students, including international students or out-of-state US students, who aren't residents of Washington. This scholarship is automatically renewable for up to four years as long as you meet renewal criteria (which usually involves maintaining a certain GPA).
As for qualifications, this isn't a scholarship that you specifically apply for. You're automatically considered if you apply for undergraduate admission to UW and aren’t a resident of Washington. It's primarily based on a holistic review of your application materials, such as your GPA, course rigor, and personal statements among other factors.
Remember, this scholarship does not cover the full cost of attending UW for an out-of-state student, so it might be a good idea to identify some other funding sources as well. UW has other scholarships and work-study opportunities that you might want to explore.
