For entomology students

The College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences awards more than $400,000 to first-year and continuing students. Incoming freshmen with a GPA of 3.60 or higher are eligible to apply for the prestigious Dean’s Award Scholarship. Other scholarships may be awarded on the basis of county residency, need, or other membership criteria and do not require high GPAs. Some departmental scholarships are also available and may not be dependent on GPA.

Students should complete the Washington State University general scholarship application and the FAFSA to ensure their eligibility for the widest range of scholarships and need-based financial aid.

For all students

A variety of state, federal, and university-sponsored programs are available to help students with educational costs. Washington State University awards millions of dollars in financial aid and scholarships to students every year based on financial need, academic merit, or a combination of the two.

Students should complete the Washington State University general scholarship application and the FAFSA to ensure their eligibility for the widest range of scholarships and need-based financial aid.

For information or to apply for financial aid and scholarships from WSU, see the Scholarships and Finances section of the WSU website.

About 8,000 men and women are professional entomologists in the United States. They work in jobs that include teaching about insects, working as extension entomologists, raising bees, enforcing quarantines and regulations, doing insect survey work, consulting on integrated pest management topics, selling insecticides, controlling pests, and conducting research on insect classification, taxonomy, biology, ecology, behavior, or control. The greatest number is employed in some aspect of economic or applied entomology dealing with the control of harmful insects.
