Scholarship
and Financial Aid Opportunities
Scholarships
memorializing Frank Potter, the first teacher of philosophy at Washington
State University, are available to help junior and senior philosophy
students defray the cost of tuition. The department also offers
a series of Young Philosopher Scholarships available to freshmen
and sophomores. Applications accepted during spring semester are normally
for scholarships to be awarded for the following year. However,
students entering WSU may apply for scholarships when applying to
Washington State University. Additional scholarships are available
through the College of Liberal Arts. For information on other scholarships,
as well as grants, loans, and work-study opportunities, contact:

The
department also holds a university-wide annual philosophical essay
competition, open to all undergraduates, which awards a first prize
of $500.
Philosophy
majors tend to do very well in competing for other scholarships
and awards. For example, in a recent two-year period, 8 of the 12
Phi Beta Kappa Scholarships (full tuition for one year) awarded
at WSU were won by Philosophy majors.
