Regarding the US Department of Education
We are aware of the new Executive Order related to the U.S. Department of Education. We hope that this executive order will not affect federal student financial aid for the current semester and continue to diligently seek more information. We will continue to closely monitor developments and remain prepared to navigate any changes. If you have concerns about your financial aid, please contact the UWM Student Financial Service Center.

Report a Private Scholarship

If you have been awarded a private scholarship (not from UWM) and your scholarship funds will be sent directly to the UWM Office of Student Accounts, you do not need to notify UWM in advance. The funds will be reflected on your financial aid award after they are received, which may take up to three weeks after UWM receives the funds from the donor.

Scholarship checks should be sent to:

UWM Office of Student Accounts
PO Box 500
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0500

Be sure your donor includes your name and campus ID on the check in order to identify you as the recipient.

If you have information from your donor that needs follow-up or attention from our office, please email documents to scholarships@uwm.edu.
