Deadlines in October: information sessions and an application workshop are scheduled
The Mary Gates Endowment provides four kinds of scholarships that support and enrich undergraduate students' learning. Honors Scholarships support new UW undergraduates, identified and selected through the Honors Program application process, to fully engage in their studies and other personally enriching activities by funding two years of their tuition and book costs. Research Scholarships enable students from a wide range of disciplines to deepen their involvement in work with faculty on research, curricular design, the creative arts, and other forms of scholarly endeavor. Leadership Scholarships are designed to foster students' growth as leaders by supporting them to pursue a challenge or project, often focused on public service in the community or on campus. Venture Scholarships enable ambitious students to undertake imaginative and risky ventures of their own design.
The first deadline for 2011-2012 is in October. See the Mary Gates Scholar website for more information.
