The University of Wisconsin–Stout offers various scholarship opportunities for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit-based scholarships recognize academic achievement, while need-based options require demonstrating financial need. Program-specific scholarships are tailored to particular majors or departments.
Prospective students should complete the FAFSA to qualify for need-based aid and explore the university’s scholarship portal for updated listings. External scholarships from organizations and private donors are also available. Deadlines and eligibility criteria vary, so early application is recommended. UW-Stout’s financial aid office provides guidance on maximizing scholarship opportunities.
