Receiving Scholarship from Government:

Receiving Scholarship from Sponsor:

You must be registered for classes for the current quarter before any funds can be released to your account. If you are not registered for the current quarter, the funds may be applied to a future quarter. You might need the breakdown cost and some other information that the sponsor might required you to submit.

If your sponsor is paying by check, the check must be made payable to the University of Washington. The check must be drawn on a U.S. Bank and payable in U.S. dollars.
