Non-Resident Tuition Waiver (NTW) Program
The University of Wisconsin-Superior seeks to promote diversity and academic excellence on its campus. Through the Non-Resident Tuition Waiver (NTW) Program, the University hopes to make the cost of studying at UW-Superior affordable to a wider range of students from diverse backgrounds. In the 2014-2015 academic year, more than 90% of international students who qualified for admission to UW-Superior also qualified for $5,600 or $7,500 through the NTW program.
NTW Awards
NTW Awards, which in 2014-2015 are worth $5,600 for undergraduate students, waive 75% of the non-resident portion of tuition. NTW Awards do not waive the resident portion of tuition. The majority of degree-seeking international students who qualify for admission to UW-Superior are eligible for an NTW Award.
NTW Scholar Awards
NTW Scholar Awards, which in 2014-2015 are worth $7,500 for undergraduate students, waive nearly all of the non-resident portion of tuition. NTW Scholars Awards, which do not waive the resident portion of tuition, are competitive and consider the following criteria:
1) Academic merit, 2) potential contribution to campus diversity, 3) personal essay and/or letters of recommendation, 4) financial need and 5) potential contributions to liberal education co-curricular initiatives.
Award Process & Conditions
Awards through the NTW Program are offered on a first-admitted, first-awarded basis, with particular consideration for the NTW Scholar Award criteria and availability. Awards are subject to the conditions in the NTW application and award letter.
Bee croft Grants
Beecroft Grants are loans of up to $500 per year that students repay by working an adequate number of hours in an assigned job on campus. A limited number of Beecroft Grants are awarded each semester. Athletes and social work majors are not eligible.
UW-Superior Foundation Scholarships
The UW-Superior University Foundation sponsors scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students. International students who have already begun their studies at UW-Superior are eligible to apply for over 100 Foundation scholarships, which are awarded by individual academic departments.
