Scholarships for out-of-state students

<p>what are the chances of getting scholarships or grants as an out of state student? I know UW mostly allows out of state students only for the extra tuition so what would make an out of state student eligible for scholarships?</p>

<p>Not likely - there are very few scholarships. If you need grants and scholarships to afford tuition in the range of out-of-state tuition at UW, you’d be much more likely to get it at a private university where your gpa and test scores make you attractive to them. My daughter, who graduated from the U never qualified for any grants. Her sister, at a private U, when our finances were the same, was given grants in addition to the annual merit scholarship she was awarded on admission.</p>

<p>You will get federal aid if eligible, but most likely 0 from the university itself. Most scholarships are for in-state only and even when they are in-state, in most cases they are also need-based. The Honors College has several scholarships available that don’t discriminate on the basis of residency.</p>
