To begin applying to scholarships, please sign in with your NetID and complete the brief General Application. Based on your answers in the General Application, you will be directed to fill out more specific scholarship applications for which you are eligible.

For general scholarship information, FAQs, scholarship cycle timelines, program and contact information for your School/College, and information on external scholarships, please visit our Scholarships Page.

Incoming Student Scholarships

As an incoming undergraduate student, it is important to activate your UW-Madison NetID and password as soon as you apply to the University. Most scholarships for incoming students are automatically offered by your School/College based on your application for admission to UW-Madison. However, there are also some program-specific scholarship applications that you may complete in WiSH if you are eligible and interested. Those applications typically open in October-November and have deadlines in early February, so don’t wait until you know your admission status to apply and be sure to log in to WiSH regularly! For more information on scholarship processes, please see the our Scholarships Page and explore scholarships for incoming undergraduate students using the saved searches below:

By logging into WiSH, you will match to scholarship opportunities for which you are eligible and can complete scholarship applications on your WiSH dashboard.

Scholarship applications are open at different times throughout the year, so you are encouraged to log in to WiSH regularly to stay up to date on available opportunities.
