Outside Scholarships

If you are receiving an outside scholarship, please review the outside scholarship guidelines  and complete a Verification of Outside Awards Form and submit it to our Financial Aid department.

GW requests that outside scholarship and award remittances be made through ACH Transfers directly to our bank. Please complete an Outside Scholarship & Award ACH Form for each of your outside scholarships, and provide a copy of the form to GW and the scholarship foundation. Please ensure that your scholarship foundation includes the student’s full name and GWID in their remittance.

If you receive a scholarship check made payable to you or made co-payable to you, sign the back of the check before mailing it to the below address; if these checks are not endorsed, they cannot be deposited and credited to your account. Please ensure that all outside scholarship check payments include the student’s full name and GWID.

Or, if a scholarship cannot be transferred via ACH, please mail the check and the Outside Scholarship & Award ACH Form to the below address. Please ensure that all outside scholarship check payments include the student’s full name and GWID.
