University of Washington Financial Aid

Does anyone know when UW starts offering financial aid and the purple and gold scholarships?

I’m not sure about financial aid, but I’ve heard from past years that the purple and gold scholarships are in the official acceptance letter

I did not use the transcript trick. Instead, I found the portal for enrollment and clicked “complete enrollment” and a page popped up telling me that I had been offered admission and briefing me on the deposit and whatnot. I checked afterward and the unofficial transcript was, however, accessible to me, so the “trick” may or may not be valid. I wouldn’t sweat it, but I would definitely use the enrollment page because that is pretty definite as it will actually say “you have been offered admission.”
