Scholarship Advising
USO staff are available for individual advising appointments with current UW undergraduates who have identified merit-based scholarships for which they want to apply. Before contacting us for an individual advising appointment, please make sure to read our web pages thoroughly and identify specific scholarships that you would like to pursue. We can assist you with application essays, your CV/resume, requesting strong letters of recommendation, interviews, and many other parts of merit-based scholarship applications.
Current UW undergraduates may also download our Fellowships, Scholarships, Research Opportunities booklet, which is a resource designed to help you navigate through the application process.
USO serves as the campus contact and nominating office for a number of national scholarship competitions. For these competitions, we coordinate campus-screening committees to identify and help select UW campus nominees, and we work intensively with nominees to help prepare them for the national competition.
