Are you from a state other than Wisconsin or Minnesota?

If so, we have great news for you! UWSP has lowered the out-of-state surcharges to $250-500 for short-term programs and $1000 for semesters abroad -- that makes our trips some of the best bargains in study abroad anywhere!



Looking for scholarships to help pay for your trip?

International Programs Scholarship Endowment scholarships available for all programs. These are given to UWSP students based on several factors, but merit, rather than need, is a hallmark for these scholarships. UWSP continuing students are strongly encouraged to apply.

Couldn't find what you wanted on our site?

International Programs can assist students in finding credible alternatives for UWSP students whose schedules and/or interests require them to seek study or tours run by other institutions. A good place to start is by visiting the unofficial UW-System Study Abroad website.
