Fees shown above assume students will complete 7 or more credits each quarter and complete the degree in one year. University and other fees are subject to change. There may be additional costs for textbooks and other course materials.
Understanding Residency
To be classified or reclassified as a resident, for tuition and fee purposes, a student must establish a bona fide domicile in the state of Washington primarily for purposes other than education for the period of one year immediately prior to classification as a resident.
If you are classified as a non-resident on the Enrollment Confirmation Acknowledgment you received and you believe you qualify for resident status, you may apply for a change of status.
Scholarship and Financial Aid
The UW Bothell Master of Science in Accounting is a fee-based program. Students in fee-based programs are not eligible for tuition exemption programs, institutional tuition waivers, or the Undergraduate/Graduate University Grant programs, including the Husky Promise.
Many students may qualify for federal loans through the U.S. Department of Education. To be considered, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible.
The School of Business also offers scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000+ for select enrolled students. Additional information on funding opportunities are available through the UW Seattle Office of Student Financial Aid.
Federal loans
Federal loans sometimes have lower interest rates and better repayment plans for students than other types of loans:
Scholarships
Graduate-level scholarships are highly competitive, so students are encouraged to explore a wide range of funding opportunities.
The UW Bothell School of Business awards the MSA-PCE Scholarship each year. Up to 15 students are selected, with awards ranging from $500 to $3,000. The application deadline is in the fall, and details are provided directly to current students.
Additional Scholarship Resources
Graduate scholarships and grant opportunities are generally more competitive than undergraduate scholarship opportunities and graduate students are encouraged to widely research for opportunities.
