State Study Abroad Initiative Grant (SSAI)
SSAI grants are provided through UWSP International Programs thanks to funding from the State of Wisconsin Legislature. Eligibility is based on financial need as determined by the UWSP Financial Aid Office--and enrollment in an official UWSP program administered by UWSP International Programs. All eligible financial aid students receive email notification from the Director of Student Financial Aid Paul Watson and the International Programs Associate Director Mark Koepke.
Did you receive your email notification? If you are not sure of your eligibility, contact the UWSP Financial Aid Office.
To receive one of these grants, if you are eligible, simply be accepted into an official UWSP International Program offering! The amount of the grant is based on the program you choose.
