The scholarship process for all undergraduates and all scholarships \r\n(both major specific ones and all general scholarships) begins with \r\n\r\n UWM\u2019s Panther Scholarship Portal<\/a>. Graduate students can also \r\n follow this process, though most of the available scholarship \r\n funding is for undergraduates. See the graduate \r\n student funding page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\r\n

How and when to apply:<\/h2>\r\n
  1. Log into the portal and your general application. This must be done a minimum of \r\nonce per school year but we recommend doing this twice a year at the \r\nstart of each semester (September and January).<\/li>\r\n
  2. In the portal, complete the Letters & Science scholarship \r\n application. Here is where you will upload a copy \r\n of your transcript (also recommended to be done in September and \r\n January).
    \r\n
    Completing steps 1 and 2 will match you to most scholarships \r\n based on the information you enter.<\/li>\r\n
  3. You may see scholarships on your Panther Scholarship Portal \r\n dashboard that you can \u201cApply To.\u201d These are scholarships which \r\n require additional information beyond steps 1 and 2. Complete \r\n any of these you wish to apply for.<\/li><\/ol>\r\n

    The Panther Scholarship Portal can also be used to find \r\n\r\n non-UWM (private) scholarships<\/a> that have registered with UWM. \r\n These may be scholarships sponsored by local or national organizations, \r\n fraternal clubs or other companies outside of UWM.<\/p>\r\n

    Students are responsible for reading and understanding \r\n UWM\u2019s policies regarding scholarship applications<\/a>. \r\n Please pay particular attention to the section on the use of AI (such as Chat GPT).<\/p>\r\n

    In the portal, the English Department \r\noffers these scholarships and awards just for their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Film Studies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Although there are no scholarships specific to film studies majors, students are eligible to apply for scholarships open to all College Letters & Science majors. The scholarship process for all students and all scholarships begins with UWM\u2019s Scholarship Portal. Applications are typically collected in January, February and March for scholarships for the following school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
