Non-UW Scholarships Students need to report all scholarships to the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA), if they were not already reported on their award notice. Forgetting to report all scholarships can cause problems with their financial aid award and in some cases may require them to return some of their financial aid money. Scholarships will reduce a student’s unmet need first, and then loans and/or work study before any grants or UW scholarships are reduced. Always include the name and student number in a scholarship check. Scholarships checks are sent to: University of Washington, Scholarships Box 24967 Seattle, WA 98124-1967 Student Fiscal Services
