UW Bothell General Scholarships

Privately-funded scholarships are essential to UW Bothell’s ability to be competitive in attracting talented, high-achieving students who help to set the bar for academic success. And, just as important, scholarships help to ensure that higher education remains accessible to all qualified students, an important tenet of our core values.

Scholarships offer students the encouragement to excel in the classroom and the freedom to be involved in campus and community activities — important components of students’ future success, and part of the enriched environment that defines their experience as UW Bothell students.

Donor-funded scholarships have made a real impact on the lives of countless Bothell students, past and present. Check out some of our student stories below to learn more.
