Scholarship Opportunities at the University of Wisconsin - Superior
Even though we believe that the advantages of small classes and
personal attention are the most important support we can offer
students, we also recognize the need for financial support. The
University of Wisconsin - Superior Foundation offers a wide range of
scholarships to science students. New freshmen may be eligible for
one of four new Swenson Scholarships awarded each year which cover
tuition, fees, and books. Each scholarship is renewable for four
years. Other scholarships are also available. In addition, we offer
opportunities for employment within the department as student
assistants and in our laboratories as research assistants so students
can arrange their work to accommodate their class schedules.
