New Students
The SPU Undergraduate Admission Application is also your application for most SPU scholarships. Information provided in the section on 'Involvement and Activities' is particularly important for determining scholarship eligibility. You will be considered for any scholarships for which you are eligible, and for which you have met the deadline. New freshmen must have a completed application in by February 1 and new transfer students by April 1.

Gates Millennium Scholarship Program
The Gates Millennium Scholars initiative, funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is aimed at expanding access and opportunity to higher education to those citizens who will help reflect the diverse society in which we live. The Foundation seeks to increase the number of African-Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian Pacific Americans, and Hispanic Americans enrolling in and completing undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The fund contains over a billion dollars to be given out over a 20 year period.
Scholarship/Grant Directories
These directories are available at the SPU library and in public libraries. SFS also has a list of references that include SPU library call numbers.
Grant Information
These are federal, state and SPU funds that don't need to be repaid. They are awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need and continued academic progress. The State of Washington has announced that the estimated average amount of state-supported financial aid at SPU for 2007-2008 is $918. State programs include work-study, grants and scholarships. The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility.
Scholarship Notebook Online Occasionally SFS receives scholarship notices from outside agencies and organizations. SFS makes this information available to students in a physical notebook located in the SFS Lobby. In addition, SFS provides this online version of the outside scholarship notebook. Please check this site periodically for updates, and do not forget to view the Scholarship News for highlighted scholarship and tips. The notebook is available December through June.
