The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM) offers various scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Chancellor’s Merit Award, recognize academic excellence, while need-based aid considers financial circumstances. Departmental scholarships cater to specific majors, and external scholarships are also available through private organizations.
Prospective students should complete the FAFSA to determine eligibility for federal and state aid. UWM’s scholarship portal lists current opportunities, with deadlines varying by award. Transfer students, international students, and non-traditional learners may find tailored options. Early application is recommended to maximize funding opportunities.
