Approaching Deadlines (all)

Luke Caldwell was awarded the 2009 Beinecke Scholarship. This scholarship is given to outstanding juniors who plan to pursue graduate studies in the Arts, Humanities or Social Sciences. The Beinecke Scholarship awards approximately 21 scholarships annually and provides each recipient with $34,000 in graduate funding.

The Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards (OMSFA) helps UW undergraduates develop the tools and personal insights necessary to match their goals with local and national merit-based scholarship opportunities. National scholarship opportunities include the Fulbright, Goldwater, Marshall, Rhodes, Truman, and many others.

At OMSFA, we:

  • Mentor students through an intense process that results in competitive applications for national scholarships;
  • Support students by offering resources, advising, and individual feedback through the scholarship process;
  • Collaborate with faculty and staff to identify and support potential student scholars;
  • Provide information and resources to students via workshops, fairs, web pages, and one-on-one assistance; and
  • Maintain a database of merit-based scholarships available to eligible UW undergraduates.
