UW-Superior offers a variety of aid programs to assist students attending the university. During the 1993-94 academic year, approximately $7.5 million was awarded through federal, state and university sources to provide grants, loans and work to students.

 

Financial aid is based on a student's need - educational costs minus student and family resources. Educational costs include fees, tuition, books and supplies, room and board, travel and miscellaneous personal expenses. A student's expected resources are determined from information the student and family reports on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

 

The university has established April 15 as its priority financial aid application deadline for the following academic year. Students whose aid applications are processed and completed by April 15 will receive a financial aid package close to their financial need. Applications completed after April 15 will receive aid packages as funds are available. A student must apply each year by completing an application.

 

To be eligible for most financial aid, a student must be enrolled as a degree-seeking or teacher certification student at least half time (6 credits per semester for undergraduates), maintain satisfactory academic progress and comply with Selective Service Registration requirements.

Students enrolled less than half-time may be eligible for financial aid on a limited basis according to current regulations. Students should note that satisfactory academic progress for financial aid differs from academic standards for enrollment in the university.
