What scholarships are available in Wisconsin for international students?

I'm an international student considering studying in Wisconsin and I'm curious about what scholarships are available for someone like me. Are there any specific scholarships for international students or anything in general that might be helpful?

Yes, definitely! Wisconsin does have scholarships that are available exclusively for international students.

Let's start with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of the largest public universities in the state. They offer the King-Morgridge Scholars Program, which is a need-based scholarship program for exceptionally talented international students from disadvantaged backgrounds. They also offer a series of International Student Scholarships which vary in terms of amount and eligibility criteria.

The Wisconsin International Scholarship Program (WISP) is another opportunity to consider. It's a statewide scholarship program for international studying in Wisconsin, offering awards from $500 to $2,000 per year.

Marquette University, a private institution, has scholarships for international students as well, such as the Pere Marquette Scholarship and the Ignatius/Magis Scholarship. They are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and vary in amount.

On a broader scope, Appily (formerly known as Cappex) is a scholarship search engine where you can filter by the fact that you're an international student to find opportunities, and Fastweb also offers an international student-specific scholarship search.

It's always a good idea to contact the financial aid offices of the specific Wisconsin universities you're interested in for more precise information on their offerings. They can provide in-depth, up-to-date details on scholarships and may be aware of additional resources.

Note: Always be aware of the eligibility requirements and deadlines for each scholarship, and ensure that your application is complete and submitted on time. Good luck!
