Donor Excellence Scholarship

Business scholarships to support current and intended Business students

Funds from the Donor Excellence Scholarship provide tuition-based financial assistance to undergraduate students admitted and enrolled as Business majors or pre-majors at the University of Washington Bothell. This  scholarship  was created by our generous donors with the intention and priority to reward undergraduate Business students who demonstrate a professional effort toward good academic standing, exhibit leadership, aspire to careers in business, and have financial need.

We offer the scholarship in fall, winter, and spring quarters. The scholarship does not automatically renew for another quarter. However, students may apply every quarter, even if they already received a scholarship in a previous quarter(s).

Award

Up to $1,500* quarterly per student

*The disbursement timeline and award amount is determined by financial aid status

Eligibility

  • Open to current Business majors, First-Year Admit (DFA) students, and pre-major students intending to apply to the Business major.
  • Must be enrolled in a minimum of 5 credits during the quarter that the application is submitted.
