The UW's Presidential Scholarship

Each year, the University of Washington reviews thousands of applications from students who want to pursue their undergraduate studies at the state’s flagship university.
From this pool, the UW recognizes a handful of students who already exemplify the Husky spirit of leadership, empathy and community enrichment. These students are named Presidential Scholars, and they are recognized to become future leaders.
Presidential Scholars receive $10,000 per undergraduate academic year and participate in a special leadership development program throughout their UW experience. In addition to their UW diploma, Presidential Scholars also receive a certificate in leadership.
There’s no application; admissions officials select these distinguished students from the application pool based on their values, rather than their academic accolades or financial need. Sometimes, student’s applications stand out on their own; other times, the UW hears about students from community leaders throughout the state including elected officials, school principals, district superintendents and heads of non-profit agencies.
The scholarship is open to all Washington residents.
