FINANCIAL AID The Office of Student Financial Aid administers several federal, state, and private financial aid programs created to help students pay tuition and fees for their education. Assistance is available in the form of grant aid, scholarships, and long-term loans that must be repaid after leaving school, and work opportunities. An information packet describing the programs, eligibility criteria, and application procedures may be obtained by contacting the Office of Student Financial Aid, 105 Schmitz Hall, Box 355880, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, (206) 543-6101. Undergraduate and graduate students may apply for aid through the Office of Student Financial Aid; graduate assistance is generally limited to long-term loans and work opportunities. To be eligible for financial aid, an individual must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States and be admitted to the University as a matriculated, degree-seeking student. First consideration is given to full-time students pursuing their first degree at any level (first baccalaureate, first master) etc. Priority is given to students who apply before the University's financial aid deadline, which is generally March 1 of the preceeding year. Student Employment Service The Office of Student Financial Aid also administers the Student Employment Service, 172 Schmitz Hall, (206) 543-1840. This is an employment referral service that lists a wide variety of part-time jobs on and off campus throughout the year. The office (180 Schmitz Hall) also administers short-term emergency loans for full-time students who find themselves in temporary, severe financial difficulty. University students may take advantage of the Student Employment Service and of the short-term emergency loan program without applying for financial aid. Financial Aid through the Department of Landscape Architecture The Department offers a limited number of teaching assistantships to graduate students who in general have completed the equivalent of the first year of the three year program. A limited number of Department scholarships are also available and awarded each Spring. Scholarship applications can be downloaded here: Word | PDF.
