<p>You can get some academic scholarships through the Honors program, but they are very selective.</p>

<p>A friend of mine got a full ride when he applied two years ago.</p>

<p>His stats are roughly about:
SAT - 2370
SAT II - Math II: 800, Biology 790 (or 780? near perfect anyway)
ACT - did not submit
GPA - 4.0 unweighted, tons of APs, and dual enrollment in Math 126 and Phys 123 senior year
National Merit Finalist, Valedictorian, National AP Scholar after junior year
He was also well rounded in sports, leadership, and clubs at his high school. He went to a public high school near Seattle.</p>

<p>Basically, financial aid is tight at UW now especially with budget cuts. The Husky Promise is ‘in danger’. More and more competitive applicants are vying for scholarships at UW, and you really have to be a top notch applicant to get a MERIT scholarship.</p>

<p>It is possible to apply for scholarships when you’re in departments or different programs, such as Honors. Here is a link to CSE Departmental Awards, since you’re interested in computer science.</p>
