Scholarships

Distinguished Dean’s Scholarship

The Distinguished Dean’s Scholarship is the Voiland College’s most prestigious scholarship award.

A select number of Dean’s Scholarship recipients will be chosen as Distinguished Dean’s Scholars.  Learn about and apply for the Dean’s Scholarship below.

Distinguished Scholars will receive a full tuition scholarship renewable for up to four years.  Finalists for the Distinguished Dean’s Scholarship will be selected by the scholarship committee after reviewing applicants from the WSU General Scholarship Application.  Criteria for selection as a finalist include:

• Demonstrated outstanding academic performance
• Evidence of intellectual curiosity and a passion for learning
• Proven leadership roles in school, community, or extracurricular activities
• Authenticity, humility, and a clear sense of purpose 

Dean’s Scholarship

Voiland College offers more than 300 Dean’s Scholarships a year to incoming freshmen and transfer students.

• Freshmen with high academic achievement (high school grade point average and pre-college test scores) will be considered.
• Pullman campus transfer students who have completed the calculus series and the calculus-based physics series or the chemistry series with a GPA of 3.4 or higher will be considered.

Students are encouraged to apply early – both for admission and for the Dean’s Scholarship – as the number of scholarships awarded is limited by the funds available each year. Scholarships may also be restricted to specific campus locations.

Western Undergraduate Exchange Engineering (WUEE) Scholarship

Out-of-state engineering and computer science students attending WSU Pullman are eligible for an additional $2,000 annual boost to their Dean’s Scholarship for each year they qualify. Combined with the WUE Distinguished Cougar Award, this closes the gap between in-state and out-of-state tuition.
