Housing Scholarships

Students who have completed the FAFSA are eligible for scholarships to assist with the cost housing.

Applying for STEM Bridge Housing

Before applying for STEM Bridge housing, students must wait until their acceptance in to the program has been confirmed. Housing will be in conjunction with housing for students participating in the Early Fall Start program, and therefore, STEM Bridge students will use the Early Fall Start Housing Application to apply.

Housing Assignments

Housing and Food Services (HFS) expects to have space available during the STEM Bridge for all students who apply for housing.

If you apply for housing by June 1 for both the UW STEM Bridge and the 2012-2013 academic year, most likely you will be assigned to the same room in Lander Hall for both periods. You may, however, be assigned to a different room if you have requested a theme community, such as Engineering Community, for autumn quarter.

If you apply after June 1:

• Most likely, you will be assigned to a triple room for the UW STEM Bridge period even if you are assigned to a double room for the academic year.
• You may be assigned to a different residence hall and/or room for the academic year.
  
  If you are assigned to a different room for the STEM Bridge than for the academic year, you will be required to move from your STEM Bridge room to your academic year room on Sunday, September 16, 2012.

HFS sends most correspondence to applicants and residents via their UW email accounts and will begin sending UW STEM Bridge assignment information in late July.
