More money, less problems

Funding your education is important and we want to help. We have many scholarships available for a variety of students. Some you need to apply for, some our faculty nominate you for. Either way it helps take a load off.

That’s not all, folks!

We not only have psychology scholarships, we also have a ton of Foundation based scholarships available for Blugolds all across disciplines. These are offered to any and every student and are normally awarded through a donor based selection process. Look into the criteria to make sure you’re able to apply. Each year there are many scholarships that do not receive any applications, so what do you have to lose? After exploring all of your options, be sure to go to Gold for Blugolds to get your application process started. To login, just use your UWEC username and password.
