Funding your studies is a challenge faced by many international students studying in the U.S. The University of Washington’s Office of Student Financial Aid does not offer any type of scholarship, grant, or other form of aid to international students studying in the U.S. Under state regulations, federal financial aid is only offered to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. There may be funding options offered by your own government. If you are still in your home country, write or contact your government to ask about funding possibilities. Many organizations, corporations, and institutions provide funding for students for foreign study. Another resource is your academic department. Many departments have information regarding specific scholarships and/or funding options available for its majors and minors.
