I am a OOS and I cannot find alot of information about merit based scholarship. Does anyone have any insight they can share?
Washington has a merit scholarship available to OOS students called the Purple and Gold Scholarship:
“All admitted U.S. students are automatically considered for this four-year scholarship. For autumn 2014, scholarship amounts range from $4,000 to $9,000 per year ($16,000 to $36,000 over four years) and were awarded to about one half of U.S. students who are not residents of Washington State.”
How about government-backed scholarships? Are they common?
