The University of Wisconsin (UW) offers various scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit-based scholarships, such as the Chancellor’s Scholarship, recognize academic excellence. Need-based aid, like the Bucky’s Tuition Promise, ensures affordability for low-income students.
Departmental scholarships cater to specific majors, while external scholarships, such as those from the Wisconsin Foundation, provide additional funding. Students should complete the FAFSA to qualify for need-based aid and check UW’s scholarship portal for updated opportunities. Early application increases chances of securing awards, as many have strict deadlines.
