Experiential scholarships & awards
Overview
Experiential scholarships provide financial support for students engaging in hands-on learning opportunities such as research, study abroad, community projects and more.
They not only offer financial assistance but also promote professional development, helping students pursue their goals both in the U.S. and abroad.
These scholarships can fund current activities or provide additional enrichment, with options ranging from short-term to long-term opportunities.
Getting started
We highly encourage you to participate in experiential learning programs, activities, and initiatives supported by the Office of Connected learning. These experiences will not only help you refine your interests and goals, but they also align perfectly with what scholarship committees often look for in applicants.
We provide guidance from the time you enroll at UW Bothell through your participation in experiential learning, that can be leveraged to pursue scholarships and enrichment opportunities. We will work with you to effectively display your qualifications through the application materials and support you in discovering pathways to more advanced opportunities.
