Financial aid
More than 65 percent of our students receive financial aid including grants, loans, scholarships and/or on-campus employment. To be considered for financial assistance, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. We strongly encourage you to apply for financial aid by March 15. Be sure to list UW-Eau Claire's financial aid code (003917) on the application. For more information about financial aid, visit our Financial Aid home page, or contact the Financial Aid Office at (715) 836-3373. Use UW-Eau Claire's financial aid estimator to estimate your financial aid eligibility.
Transfer students must request a duplicate copy of their Student Aid Report (SAR) by phoning (319) 337-5665. UW-Eau Claire must be listed on the SAR as the institution you plan to attend. If it is not, provide the correct information and sign and return the form for processing to the address as indicated on the SAR. If UW-Eau Claire is listed as an institution, forward the signed SAR to the UW-Eau Claire Financial Aid Office. After all application materials are received, a financial aid award notification will be sent to you.
Incoming Student Scholarships
UW-Eau Claire awards a vareity of non-need-based scholarships to outstanding freshmen every year with scholarships ranging from $250 to $6,000. Descriptions, amounts, and applications for UW-Eau Claire Foundation Scholarships can be found on the Scholarships for Incoming Students page.
Students in the top 5 percent of their class with an ACT composite of 28 or above/SAT 1870 are guaranteed at least $1,000 worth of scholarships. While guaranteed at least $1,000, students are encouraged to compete for higher value awards through the general scholarship application.
UW-Eau Claire is one of a few Wisconsin public universities to participate in the prestigious National Merit Scholarship Program in which distinguished students receive in-state tuition scholarships. The Foundation also awards Wisconsin Academic Excellence scholarships valued at $2,250 for up to four years.
Wisconsin/Minnesota reciprocity
The current reciprocity agreement between Minnesota and Wisconsin enables a Minnesota resident to attend Wisconsin public institutions of higher education at rates approximating tuition prevailing in the Minnesota State University System. Those wishing to take advantage of this tuition remission must apply well in advance of their initial enrollment at a Wisconsin System institution. Approval covers the full year (including summer sessions) and is automatically renewed each year for the campus initially approved. You may apply online at www.getreadyforcollege.org, or if you have additional questions about reciprocity, contact the Minnesota Office of Higher Education at (800) 657-3866.
