 Key Things To Know  

1. As soon as a student receives a first bachelor’s degree, they are no longer eligible for federal or state grants.
2. A student must be admitted to UWSP as a graduate student and also admitted to a specific graduate degree program before being awarded financial aid. (See the Admissions Page on Graduate Students for more information).
3. If enrolled at least half-time, a graduate student will be considered for work-study, Perkins loans and Direct Loans, when aided.
