UW-Sheboygan Scholarship Application 2017-18

UW- Sheboygan scholarships are awarded by the UW-Sheboygan Foundation Scholarship Committee and/or the Student Aid, Awards, and Appeals (AAA) Committee. The AAA Committee is made up of three faculty/staff members, two students, and a non-voting member of Student Affairs. Most scholarships are awarded for one academic year with one-half of the funds distributed upon first semester (Fall 2017) registration and one-half distributed upon second semester (Spring 2018) registration. Only those scholarships specifically identified as Transfer Scholarships can be applied to other campuses. Scholarship awardees will be recognized at either the Freshman Scholarship Reception or at the UW-Sheboygan Honors and Recognition Night. The events will be held late April or early May.

.

Please respond to all of the questions, and write "NA" (not applicable) if appropriate. Students receiving various scholarships will be determined based on the information provided on the application form. Although most scholarships are awarded primarily for academic achievement (minimum cumulative 3.0 G.P.A.), other considerations such as extra-curricular activities and financial need, play an important part in the selection process. The UW-Sheboygan Foundation and the Student Aid, Awards, and Appeals Committee reserves the right to interview any and all applicants. By submitting this scholarship application you give permission for your application, academic records and FAFSA information to be reviewed by the Scholarship Committees. All financial and academic record information is, and shall remain, confidential.

Students receiving financial aid are also eligible to apply for scholarships because these funds are separate from UW Colleges Financial Aid Office funds. You can check out the tentative list of scholarships at: http://www.sheboygan.uwc.edu.
