Seattle University offers merit-based undergraduate scholarships for the 2026/2027 academic year to international and domestic first-year students entering a Bachelor's degree. Selected students can receive an award of up to $12,000 (about €11,000 (est.)) per year, which over the standard four-year programme totals up to $48,000 (about €44,000 (est.)) in the USA. Founded in 1891, Seattle University is a Jesuit Catholic institution on a 50-acre campus in Seattle's Capitol Hill district, with 8 schools and colleges, more than 7,200 enrolled students, and over 850 international students from more than 60 countries. The scholarship is automatically considered as part of the admission application, so there is no separate scholarship form, and it is renewable each year for students who maintain full-time enrolment and the required GPA. To qualify, applicants must have a strong academic record with a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0, submit all transcripts with verified English translations where needed, and demonstrate English proficiency if they are non-native speakers; international freshmen are not required to submit ACT or SAT scores, though strong scores can help. Programmes span engineering, computer science, business, nursing, the sciences, and the arts and humanities. Because the award value, renewal terms, and admission deadlines are set each cycle and can vary by programme, confirm the current 2026/2027 figures and deadline on the official Seattle University page before you apply.
