Hey Dawgs! Let’s talk about scholarships!
Scholarship applications have been made much easier with the scholarship portal put into place here at UW-Stevens Point! This is an online space where we have access to all scholarships offered by UWSP!
If you are an admitted student for fall 2027, this portal is now open to you, and the priority deadline is December 1.
For current students, you can apply for major- and college-specific scholarships through the portal. When filling out the standard application, the portal will match you with scholarships based on your provided answers. The portal opens on November 1 for current students.
By logging into this website and filling out the singular application and answering all of the questions, you are opening yourself up to multiple opportunities to get some financial help!
