Each WSU student on a full athletic scholarship will get an additional $3,542 this school year. Even though it’s cheaper to live in Pullman than it is to live in Seattle, WSU’s cost-of-attendance stipend is more than the $2,679 per scholarship that the Huskies have allocated.
Last month, Washington State students on athletic scholarships came back to school to find a little extra money awaiting them.
The five power conferences in college sports voted in January to allow schools to have athletic scholarships include a cost-of-attendance stipend – an additional sum of money meant to cover college expenses beyond tuition and room and board.
