Additional Funding and Scholarships Information

All admitted applicants are considered for Seattle University graduate scholarships. Scholarships are awarded based on a holistic review of all application materials and available funding. Applicants are encouraged to submit an optional statement of any special personal or family circumstances affecting their need for financial assistance. Please note that all scholarships are partial tuition scholarships.

Scholarships are renewable for multi-year programs, provided students maintain satisfactory academic progress and enroll full-time (six quarter credits per quarter). Students taking fewer than six quarter credits will have their scholarship amount prorated accordingly.
