Armando Reyes

2010, English Language and Lit (BA), Speech & Hearing Sciences (BS) Harborview Emergency Department Medical Assistant - Finishing Med School

I started out with an interest in psych, took some courses, really liked biopsychology, and started pursuing biology/pre-med. I always had an interest in pre-med, but wasn't ready for the academic rigor that biology and chemistry courses required. I love writing and critical analysis, so I decided on English. I then took a phonetics course through the Speech & Hearing Sciences department one summer and it all kind of just fell into place. Now I'm in Med School.

The HEERF directed universities to prioritize students with exceptional financial need. The UW wants to provide economic relief quickly to students who may have experienced additional expenses and/or a loss of income due to COVID-19. Therefore, we have used the HEERF emergency aid funds to provide a standard relief grant of $1,300 based on the family income reported on your FAFSA.

The specific criteria for the UW Federal Emergency Relief Fund standard grant is as follows-

Undergraduate or graduate student in a degree program, enrolled at least half time for winter quarter 2021

Meet basic eligibility requirements for federal aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965

A 2020-21 FAFSA on record with the UW's Office of Student Financial Aid

Family income in the low- to low-middle income levels based on FAFSA information.

For more details about the Federal Emergency Relief Fund, please see this page.

If you received a request for additional information, please use the link to the form in the email. If you are submitting additional documentation you can upload in a secure manner by using our form "Information Update". It can be found under General on

the UW has an emergency aid program. More information and the emergency aid request form can be found at https://www.washington.edu/emergencyaid/ . Our emergency aid team will respond to your request within 7-10 business days and offer options for assistance.

You must be registered for classes for the current quarter before any funds can be released to your account. Any funds in excess of account charges may be released to you, unless sponsors wish to have excess funds returned to them, we will return it directly to them. If you are not registered for the current quarter, the funds may be applied to a future quarter.

Funds will always be applied to your account according to the sponsor's wishes. However, if no instructions are provided by the sponsor, all checks for $2,000 or more will be split over the remaining quarters in the academic year. Checks for less than $2,000 will be applied to the current quarter. **Note: If you are a Financial Aid recipient, please notify the Office of Financial Aid of any scholarships you are receiving as additional funds could impact your financial aid package. You can e mail them at osfa@uw.edu or call them at 206-543-6101.

If you will not be attending the University of Washington, the sponsor may request a refund from Student Fiscal Services.

If you are registered only for Professional and Continuing Education (PCE) classes, scholarship funds cannot be released to pay your tuition or to print you a check. Check with PCE for payment instructions.

Note: The University Bookstore is not part of the University of Washington and charges for books are not included in University charges.

ACH/Wire Payments

If would like to pay by wire transfer please contact sfshelp@uw.edu to obtain the banking information. Please ensure that you include the UW student's full name, student number, and invoice (if applicable) in the wire. For International students and sponsors, we recommend FlyWire or Western Union as a more reliable method to make your payment. Use the icon at the bottom of our Tuition Payment page to initiate payment.

Scholarship Checks

If your sponsor is paying by check, the check must be made payable to the University of Washington. The check must be drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in U.S. dollars.

If the sponsor requires that the check be made payable to both you and the University of Washington, the sponsor should mail the check directly to you for endorsement. After endorsing the check, mail or bring the check to the Student Fiscal Services Office.

Scholarship checks should be mailed to:

University of Washington - Scholarships
