Young Philosopher Scholarships
The Department of Philosophy is pleased to announce that scholarship funds are available for upcoming semesters for students already at Washington State University who have not yet reached junior status. (Young Philosopher Scholarships are also available for incoming freshmen through a separate application process.)

Several scholarships will be given to help defray tuition expenses of freshman and sophomore students.

Academic excellence (3.0 g.p.a. or greater) and proven interest in philosophy will be prime factors in the selection of recipients. Such excellence will be judged on the basis of the following:

• A transcript of graded coursework
• Demonstrated proficiency in writing -- not merely in correctness of mechanics but also in the ability to select, organize and present ideas effectively
• Recommendations from philosophy faculty members
• Performance in philosophy classes

Financial need is normally not a consideration, and one need not be a philosophy or major or minor to apply.

Decisions regarding the awarding of scholarships will be made by the Scholarship Committee of the Philosophy Department. See Dr. Harry Silverstein, Chair of the Scholarship Committee or DeeDee Torgeson, Administrative Manager, if you have any questions.
