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 and Honors Application. Make sure to activate your account and apply online for scholarships on our Gold for Blugolds scholarship site. Select the Admissions Scholarship and Honors 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

First-Year

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

The scholarship deadline for transfer students is June 1 for fall and December 1 for spring.

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

In addition to scholarships awarded based on the Admissions Scholarship and Honors application, you may be considered for some scholarships based solely on your application for admission. Admissions will notify recipients of any scholarship via mailed letter at the time of awarding.
