One application. Multiple scholarship opportunities.

UW-Platteville scholarships are made possible through the generosity of alumni, friends, and university supporters. Scholarships recognize students for a variety of achievements and qualifications, including academic performance, leadership, service, involvement, and financial need. Eligibility requirements vary by scholarship and may include minimum grade point averages (GPA), standardized test scores, demonstrated financial need, specific programs of study, geographic location, or other academic and special qualifications. Review individual scholarship descriptions for specific eligibility requirements.

How Are Scholarships Awarded?

  • Auto-Match Scholarships: No additional application is required beyond the applicable campus application. Eligible applications are automatically forwarded to scholarship committees. These scholarships will not appear under Recommended Opportunities.
  • Apply-to Scholarships: Some scholarships require additional materials, such as an essay or reference. After submitting your applicable campus application, look under Recommended Opportunities and select Apply to submit the additional requirements.
