Scholarships & Financial Aid
Each year Pacific Lutheran University awards scholarships to new applicants in the Rainier Writing Workshop. The number and amount of the scholarships vary depending on the qualifications of the candidates.
“I can’t say enough good about the program. It’s been a great light in my life.”
Scholarships
The $5,000 PLU Alumni Scholarship is a one-time scholarship automatically awarded in the first term of the program to graduate students who also earned their bachelor’s degree from PLU. (Restrictions apply to those students who are also PLU staff, and international scholarship recipients.)
Applicants who are not PLU alumni are automatically considered for this one-time merit scholarship, which, if awarded, will be applied to the first term of the program.
Financial Aid
Many graduate students finance their program through a combination of personal funds, educational loans, employer support (if eligible), military benefits (if eligible), and scholarships (institutional and/or outside).
We strongly recommend you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for federal education loans. PLU’s FAFSA school code is 003785.
