Our scholarships are funded through private donations and university resources. Scholarships include both merit and merit/need-based awards.

The amount for each scholarship varies from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.

Some scholarships are renewable, but most are awarded for a single year. If you received an Honors College scholarship for the current year that is not renewable, and you still meet its requirements, you are welcome to reapply for the next year.

If you are applying for a need-based scholarship, you must have a FAFSA form for the upcoming academic year on file with the Office of Financial Aid. Aid eligibility will be verified for each student selected for a need-based award.

All students will need to apply through the Madison Scholarship Hub. Information on applying can be found on the Scholarships website.

The Honors College offers a number of need-based scholarships for study abroad. Please visit Study Abroad in Honors for more information.

The following scholarships are intended to assist in offsetting tuition, fees and book expenses for students. All Honors college students may apply for assistance. Awards will be selected based on financial need and scholarship requirements. Please note these scholarships are auto-matched so no additional information required other than the General Application in the Madison Scholarship Hub.
