I'm looking at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as an option for college. Do they offer scholarships for international students? If anyone has experience with UWM, I'd love to hear about your scholarship application process and tips.
Yes, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) does offer scholarships for international students. Here's one you might want to consider:
1. The Chancellor's Merit Scholarship for non-resident undergraduate students, which is awarded based on academic performance and campus involvement. It offers a value between $2,000 and $6,000 to students who have at least a 3.4 GPA.
As far as the application process goes, it would be best if you start by applying for admission to UWM. Once you've applied and been admitted to the university, you'll then have access to the scholarships portal where you can apply for scholarships with a single application. Some scholarships may have additional application requirements, such as an essay or letters of recommendation, so make sure to check each scholarship individually to ensure you're fulfilling all the requirements.
Remember, deadlines are critical! Most scholarships have application deadlines that fall in the spring for the following academic year, so it's beneficial to start your scholarship search early.
For the best chance of success, I recommend making your application stand out by highlighting your academic achievements, personal and professional growth, and any community service or leadership experiences you've had. The more you distinguish yourself, the higher your chances of getting awarded.
Good luck with your scholarship application process at UWM!
