Undergraduate: Washington State University the International Academic Awards

At Washington State University the International Academic Awards (www.ip.wsu.edu/enroll/scholarships/ip-financialassistance.shtml) have been a stable source of tuition reduction for international undergraduates for over 8 years. These awards are automatic (not requiring an application) and are based strictly on the grades earned at the previous schools of newly admitted international undergraduate students to the main campus in Pullman, Washington. The three awards are for Freshmen, Transfer and Post-bacc (second bachelor) level students. They are currently awarded similarly (3.30-3.59GPA = $1000/sem) and (3.60-4.00GPA = $2000/sem), but the renewal period varies. Freshmen can renew up to a full four years, Transfers up to three years, and Post-bacc up to two years just by maintaining their WSU cumulative grade point at a 3.2. There is currently no limit on the number of awards that can be offered, and this academic year it is expected that over $1,000,000 will be administered for new and renewed awardees.
