Description

Due to our generous donors, the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences has a robust undergraduate scholarship program for BSE/SBSE and ESRM majors. Scholarships range from $800 to $10,000, depending on the applicant pool and match with funds available each year. These funds are awarded based on merit and/or need (as indicated by the FAFSA or WASFA). The funds are directly deposited to your student account on a quarterly basis (Autumn, Winter, Spring) before the tuition due date (which is generally the third week of the quarter) after full-time (12 credits) enrollment is verified. Scholarships cannot be applied to summer quarter. Students, including those that have previously received a SEFS scholarship, must apply annually for the following academic year. Awards must be used within the award quarter and year as designated in award letters sent to recipients.

Procedure
The application is available via the program website.
