THE UWRF SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION IS CLOSED
UWRF scholarship applications will open again in October 2026 for new students applying for fall 2027 admission, and in November for currently enrolled/continuing students.
Undergraduate Lawton and Graduate Advanced Opportunity Grants
Students may still apply for these grants for the 2026-2027 academic year. Login to complete the general application first, then apply for the grant. Please read the description to ensure all eligibility requirements are met.
The Award column is an estimated award amount and not a guarantee of what you will receive if selected.
DEADLINES
Most scholarships have a deadline of February 1, however Study Abroad, Graduate Counseling and School Psychology, and the Chancellors and Falcon Scholars have earlier deadlines. Please review the scholarship description for details; application deadlines are strict.
TIMELINE
Scholarships for the 2026-2027 school year are reviewed during the spring semester and recipients are be notified through their @my.uwrf.edu email account by the end of April if selected. Recipients need to accept their scholarship through this portal and complete post-acceptance if required. Please see UWRF Scholarships for more information.
Scholarships are paid to student billing accounts for the semester they are awarded.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
- Students must be admitted to UWRF and enrolled at least half-time to receive a scholarship during the semester it is scheduled to disburse. Currently enrolled UWRF students planning to graduate during the 2025-2026 academic year are not eligible to receive scholarships paid out during the 2026-2027 academic year.
- Scholarship recipients are invited to and expected to attend an annual Scholarship Recognition Event hosted by University Advancement during fall semester in the year the scholarship is received. This serves as a meaningful opportunity to meet and thank the donor/s who fund scholarships to benefit UWRF students.
- Review Scholarship Requirements. Apply only if you are eligible.
- Complete the Application in Full. If a question does not apply, indicate as such.
- Review your Application. Along with proofing your own application, have someone else proofread for spelling and grammatical errors and provide feedback before you submit your application.
- Pay Attention to Deadlines. Don’t wait until the last minute to apply. Give yourself time to provide thoughtful and meaningful responses.
