The Wildcat Promise First-year students often have a gap of several thousand dollars between the total cost of attendance and their federal aid and student loans making it hard for them to access higher education. The Wildcat Promise Scholarship fills this gap for four years, providing a necessary safety net for students to complete their degrees.

“
The Wildcat Promise has been absolutely pivotal and instrumental, particularly for students who have been admitted to CWU but have not made the final commitment. We offer the Wildcat Promise and that has been the game-changer, and it has had a significant impact on a student’s decision to attend CWU. This really helped to fill the gap between the student’s contribution and their financial aid awards.” Dr. Margaret Ortega Vice President, Division of Student Engagement and Success
Gifts and pledges range from $10 to $1 Million
