UWM Scholarships
The application process for all students and all scholarships at UWM begins with UWM’s Scholarship Portal. You will need to create a general profile and upload a copy of your transcript.
Many scholarships require no additional application beyond this general scholarship application and uploaded transcript; students are automatically reviewed for these types of scholarships.
You may also see scholarships on your Scholarship Portal dashboard that you can “Apply To.” These are scholarships which do require additional information beyond the general application and uploaded transcript. Be sure to read the description for these to make sure you meet the eligibility requirements before submitting the additional information that is being requested.
