Financial Aid

The purpose of financial aid is to help students and families meet educational expenses that cannot be met through their own resources. Financial aid can be either need based or non-need based.

There are several types of financial aid available. Grants and scholarships are considered "gift aid" because they generally do not have to be repaid. Loans and student employment are considered "self-help aid" because loans have to be repaid and by working you earn money for educational expenses. Approximately two-thirds of all students attending the University of Wisconsin Colleges receive some type of financial aid.
