Wisconsin School of Business BBA Scholarships - Pre-Business Applicants
Direct Transfer & currently enrolled Pre-Business applicants seeking admission into the Wisconsin School of Business can apply for scholarship awards through the School by submitting a complete application on WiSH and answering the following supplemental questions. The BBA Program awards a large number of scholarships totaling over $500,000 annually to enrolled/continuing BBA students. Applicants will be considered for general BBA awards and select academic department awards.
Though not required, many awards take financial need into account so the FAFSA is strongly recommended. Students who are not able to fill out the FAFSA are still eligible to receive funds.

Applicants are encouraged to review this site for other University awards outside the School of Business.
