Which of these a student actually clears depends on GPA, test score, home state, and major. A free Graidy account works that out award by award, and shows what is left to pay after it.
Cost of attendance as published: tuition, fees, housing, and food for one year. It is the sticker, before any of the awards above and before need-based aid.
UWSP Scholarship Portal (NextGen scholarship tool, ngwebsolutions/AwardSpring platform) — a single application matches admitted/enrolled students to ~750 university-wide and departmental scholarships; most individual award names, amounts, and eligibility text for department-tier awards are visible only inside the portal after login, so this fleet captured names/amounts from department and college pages where those are published outside the login wall.
Every amount on this page was read off a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point page on the date shown. Schools change award tables, so check the school's page before you count on a number.
