Incoming Student Scholarships

Your education is an investment in yourself and your future, and we believe in supporting you. You may be eligible for financial assistance based on merit through our scholarship program. Each year, UWEC awards over $3 million in scholarships. Awards can range from $150 to more than $8,000 per year.

Apply now!

Scholarships are competitive. We strongly encourage every student to complete the Admissions Scholarship Application. Make sure to activate your account and apply online for scholarships on our Gold for Blugolds scholarship site. Select the Admissions Scholarship Application as this single application allows you to apply for incoming student scholarships.

As part of the application, you will be asked to upload a document detailing your extracurricular/cocurricular activities, service involvement, work experience, etc. We encourage you to use this template to submit that information!

Application deadlines

We are still accepting scholarship applications for first-year and transfer applicants for fall 2024, and we encourage students to complete the application as soon as possible. Due to federal delays in financial aid award packaging, scholarships with need-based criteria will be awarded in late spring.

First-Year

Students are encouraged to apply by December 1 for competitive/early awards. The final application deadline is February 1.

Transfer

The scholarship deadline for transfer students is March 1 for fall and November 15 for spring.

International

Fall/September Semester: June 1
Spring/January Semester: December 1

Graduate

Students applying to or admitted to a graduate degree program are encouraged to submit the Graduate Student Assistantship/Fellowship/AOP Application by March 1 for the upcoming academic year and summer session. Other department-specific scholarships may have different deadlines.

Additional scholarship opportunities

We automatically consider you for some additional scholarships based on your application for admission and academic profile. The Admissions Office will notify recipients. To maximize your scholarship options, please submit the Admissions Scholarship application and research private scholarships. You're encouraged to use our Scholarship Resource Center, which includes a searchable database of scholarships external to UW-Eau Claire.
