SSI Scholarship Opportunities
The Salish Sea Institute awards scholarships to students in the Salish Sea Studies minor every year. WWU is transitioning to a centralized scholarship process where students will complete a single scholarship application and be considered for all WWU scholarships that they qualify for. The new centralized application will automatically use existing student data (GPA, major, minor, etc.) along with questions and essays to streamline the scholarship process. Students who apply will be considered for all scholarships they qualify for.
Applications are accepted once a year starting late winter quarter and due early spring quarter.
In your application, be sure to include that you are a Salish Sea Studies minor to be considered for the scholarships.
