Third-party scholarship guidelines

Are you applying for a third-party scholarship?

Requirements for scholarship applications vary, but many scholarship agencies request documents we've made available for you to request, like Enrollment Verification, Financial Needs Analysis, and Transcripts. Only request documents your scholarship application requires.

Were you awarded a third-party scholarship?

Congratulations! If you’ve received an award letter from the agency, please forward it to finaid@fortlewis.edu. Most scholarship agencies send the award check to Fort Lewis College, and the Financial Aid Office applies the scholarship funds directly to the student’s bill.

If the scholarship agency allows, any remaining funds left after expenses are paid will be refunded to you. Some agencies require Fort Lewis College to return any unused funds to them.

If you receive scholarship funds directly from the agency

Financial Aid must be made aware of any scholarship money you receive so we can keep track of your aid and ensure you are not receiving funds over the cost of attendance at Fort Lewis College.
