First TLS'er to blackout/puke at Finn's? (This does not condone binge-drinking).

Unfortunately, it sounds like the grant is for in-state students only. This from the e-mail I got from UW today:

"Please verify your residency status with the Residency Office at resquest@uw.edu as you may be required to submit the Residency Classification form to confirm your residency. Washington residents may be eligible for the Graduate University Grant, a need-based grant in the amount of $9,000. To be considered for this grant, students must have had their Washington State residency confirmed, submitted their FAFSA by the January 15 priority deadline, and the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC) satisfies the University’s need criteria." [Note: my emphasis]

Thank you for the above info. NonTrad82. I will be crossing that potential source of funding off my ever shortening list :(

No aid this round. Most likely withdrawing.

This is for domiciliaries, not residents.

It's a different status.

Can you withdraw through their site, or do you have to e-mail the admissions office?

I emailed Dean Le as just a reply to the scholarship email that was sent.

FWIW, I wasn't selected for the first round. I emailed Dean Le basically asking if I could get any aid before round 2 that starts on April 15th because I have seat deposits before then. He said unfortunately, they can't make any other scholarship offers until after April 15. So, unless I get the Gregoire, I'll be withdrawing next week.

Yeah, no aid before deposit deadlines might be a dealbreaker for me too. It's a shame -- I love the Northwest -- but sticker at UW is a losing proposition.

When you withdraw, you get a survey. I'd recommend writing something about how you could have considered the school on its merits much easier if they had a more reasonable scholarship date - I was fine with the essay but making you wait this long is a non-starter... that's what I did at least!

For the sake of next year's applicants, maybe we can change it for the better

You know you can put down a deposit somewhere and still go to a different school right? No point in withdrawing even after you put down a deposit somewhere if you really want to go to UW

^ Not everyone can afford multiple seat deposits in the same month.

If your UW offer is going to save you thousands of dollars, it's worth throwing away a few hundred. Plus, it doesn't hurt to keep your app in even if you don't end up switching

For sure, just saying 'throwing away a few hundred' (or in some cases $1,000+) isn't a financial possibility for a lot of us. I get your point, though, and it is worth doing if you're able to.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
