Eligibility is determined by the U.S. Department of Education. The specific award amount depends upon credit load, residency, and whether the student lives on or off campus or with parents. If any of these factors change, an award adjustment may be necessary. The student receives a Student Aid Report (SAR) after applying, directly sent from the U.S. Department of Education. The SAR can be used to make corrections to incorrect data. The corrected form can either be sent to the Federal Student Aid Program processor (address on form) or turned into the UWSP Financial Aid Office, where we are equipped to make corrections on the student's behalf. This grant is only for undergraduate students.
