UW–Madison Scholarships via the Wisconsin Scholarship Hub

University of Wisconsin-Madison, United States

Scholarship overview

Almost every department, school and college at UW–Madison offers scholarships based on academic information, extracurricular activities and financial need. Students find and apply for them through the Wisconsin Scholarship Hub (WiSH) with a UW NetID. All incoming students with an active NetID are automatically considered for many scholarships; others need a separate WiSH application.

Award Information

  • Criteria vary by scholarship: academic achievement, contributions, service and leadership, and financial need
  • International students are eligible for many scholarships, but there are none specifically for international students

Gift aid that does not need to be repaid; amounts vary by award. Scholarship funds for incoming students are limited, and an incoming international student is unlikely to receive a first-year scholarship.

Incoming-student applications typically open in November and close by February 1; continuing-student applications open at various times through the year.

  1. Activate your UW NetID after applying for admission.
  2. Log in to WiSH and complete matched scholarship applications.
  3. Check your School/College scholarship timelines.
