The U.S. Department of Education and the State of Wisconsin provides the following major Student Financial Assistance Programs:
Federal Work-Study
The Work Study Program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need,
allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service
work and work related to your course of study. The College Work Study Program (CWS) provides
opportunities for students to work both on and off campus. Students work on an average of 8 to
12 hours per week and earn $100 every 2 weeks.
The amount of the Work Study award is the maximum amount a student can earn while on Work Study. The
awards are based on the student's need, timing of application, self help preference of student and
fund limits. Off campus Community Service positions do get priority placement and students who
express an interest in working off campus Community Service setting do get priority awarding.
Non-Resident Fee Remissions
The State of Wisconsin does provide non-resident fee remissions for graduate and undergraduate students.
They fall under the following categories:
- Graduate Student Fee Remissions which are administrated and awarded by the Graduate Student Office.
- Non-resident undergraduate fee remissions which are administered and awarded by the Financial Aid Office.
- International Student Fee Remissions which are administrated and awarded by the International Education
Office and the Admissions Office.
- Equity Fee Remissions which are administrated and awarded by the Registrar and Financial Aid Office.
Specific criteria for awards are determined by the awarding office. For example the non-resident fee remission
for undergraduate students is determined based on the information provided by the Financial Aid Application.
If you want more information you should call the awarding office.
