Students looking to save on next year’s college tuition bill, should apply for scholarships through the UW-L Foundation as soon as possible. Winter break is a great time to search and apply for those scholarships online, says Sara Olson, scholarship coordinator with the UW-L Foundation.
About 400 scholarships totaling about $450,000 are available through the UW-La Crosse Foundation on the scholarship website. The deadline for scholarship applications is midnight Sunday, Feb. 15.
Students can search for scholarships by keyword and apply for multiple scholarships without having to re-enter general application information. The site also provides links to about 500 external scholarships.
Scholarships through the Foundation range from $200 to $8,000; however, the majority are awards of about $1,000.
Scholarships are available for students with a variety of academic majors, concentrations and colleges. Others are for students with a particular background such as student whose parent or grandparent is a UW-L alum.
Scholarship recipients will be notified via email in late March. A scholarship reception will be Monday, April 27, 2015, on campus. A separate reception for School of Education scholarship recipients is planned Sunday, April 26, 2015.
