Vancouver Nonresident Academic Achievement Award
We've put a little aside for your education. It adds up to $20,000. And then some.
If you're from outside Washington state and have top grades and test scores, you can get a dramatically reduced tuition rate at Washington State University.
The Vancouver Nonresident Academic Achievement Award is Washington State University Vancouver's way of recognizing incoming freshmen and transfer students with exceptional academic ability. This award will reduce your annual tuition significantly.

Renewing the award
After the first year, you'll be eligible to renew the award if you maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher, earn at least 24 graded credits per year, and retain residency outside the state of Washington.**
**To calculate the amount of the award, multiply resident tuition times 1.5, then subtract that amount from nonresident tuition. This will be the value of your scholarship. Because tuition rates vary annually, so will the amount of the award.
