My daughter has narrowed her college choices down to the University of Washington and the University of Georgia. A big factor in her final decision is scholarships. She missed the full ride scholarships at UGA by 90 points (1480 SAT cut off) but I have not found much info on UW scholarships. Based on what you all know, what would you all guess she would qualify for?
SAT - 1390 (single seating)
GPA UW - 3.9
GPA W - 4.5
AP - 5 AP classes, highest score was 3 in Biology (could nto take any more due to dual enrollment)
Dual Enrollment - She will have completed 69 semester hours at the local University in their honors program (she attended full time her Junior and now her Senior year and commutes 30 miles each way daily)
Ex - 3 years as Officer in Beta Club, Scholarship Space Camp, various other clubs, Swim team 4 years and Captain her senior year, Local club swim team as well, went to State.
Will be Biochemistry/Pre-Med
Thanks all!
Important detail - she will be a non-resident - aka she is a Georgia resident
The primary scholarship available for OOS students is the Purple and Gold Scholarship.
https://admit.washington.edu/costs-and-financial-aid/scholarships/purple-and-gold
OOS tuition, room and board total around $47,000/yr. The Purple and Gold Scholarship would reduce the cost to around $41,500 to $43,750/yr.
There are other scholarships awarded through the individual schools and departments and the Honors Program (which she should consider based on her academic record).

Good luck!
OOS at UW is going to garner very little in the way of any $$. If money is an issue this school wouldn’t be in play. The scholarships that I would expect to require a higher SAT would be small enough to hardly dent the COA. Are you expecting the DE stuff to be transferable?
UW doesn’t grant much big money in general, but especially to OOS. Financially she would have better choices elsewhere.
