On Campus Degree Program
Financial Information
In order to help you finance your academic goals, we have designed an application process that is individualized and streamlined. Please note that graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time (5 credits per semester) to receive financial aid. The process is as follows:
- Complete and mail the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the processor listed on the FAFSA or complete the FAFSA on-line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov . Our financial aid school code is 003919.
- Complete the admissions process and determine how many credits you are going to take. To be eligible for Financial Aid, you must take at least 5 credits per semester or 5 credits over summer session.
- Starting approximately April 15, financial aid awards will be mailed and students will have three weeks to return the Award form if they wish to decline their awards. For more information about financial aid, visit UW-La Crosse's Financial Aid Web page. UW-La Crosse Financial Aid Web page.
- Students can apply for UW-L Foundation Scholarships and those can be found in a resource guide in the Bookstore. The deadline is March 1st.
- Students are also encouraged to check into Tuition Reimbursement programs through their employers.
Spring and summer financial aid applications are processed as they are received.
