I’m confused about the Chancellor’s Scholarship program. Does it count only if I get accepted?

5

It’s a UW-specific (full tuition, +$400 per semester for books) scholarship so yes, it only counts if you are accepted.

The deadline is around February 1st so you should plan on applying for it before you learn whether you are accepted in order to avoid running out of time.

Thank you! Is this scholarship completive?

7

Competitive?*

Do you mean competitive? If that is your question all scholarships are competitive but you don’t know if you’ll be the “one” so you should apply! Good luck!

Yes, it’s competitive and not automatic.
