Financial Support

The Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture offers more than 300 Dean’s Scholarships a year. The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science also has a large number of scholarships available.

Scholarships can be an important part of paying for your college degree. The most important thing you can do is submit the WSU General Scholarship Application every year by January 31.

Prerequisites

You can fulfill the majority of WSU’s general education (UCORE) and the pre-engineering admission requirements at any college (2 year or 4 year) and complete your electrical engineering degree at WSU Everett, in our brand new state-of-the-art WSU Everett building.

While not required for acceptance to the program, we recommend pursuing a community college transfer degree. The associate of science track 2 (AST-2) degree is well suited for pre-engineering study, as it includes the majority of WSU general education (UCORE) requirements and allows room for the engineering prerequisites.

If you have any questions about equivalent courses at your current college, or about completing your bachelor’s degree at WSU Everett, contact one of our academic advisors who will help you work out a personalized transfer plan.
