The 2025 application is now open for scholarships and awards from the Department of Biological Sciences for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Biological Sciences. All applications must be submitted through the UWM Scholarship Portal, and all applications and letters of recommendation are due February 1st, 2025.
Eligibility: Students who will graduate in Spring 2025 are not eligible for awards.
This is a three-step process:
- Complete the UWM general application. If you previously filled this out, your answers carry over and you just need to update and add new information.
- Undergraduate students only: Complete the Letters & Sciences application, which consists of just one item – upload a copy of your unofficial UWM transcript. Be sure to wait until all of your fall grades are in.
- Complete the biology department application (Note: you will need to request a letter of recommendation from a professor in the application system. Please contact your letter writer right away, to ensure they are willing to write a letter for you. If they agree, you can enter their contact information into your application, which will send them a link to upload their letter):
