Our Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Fund for Wisconsin Scholars (FFWS) wants to increase the number of college graduates in the state of Wisconsin. They want to provide grants that open the door to a better world and support students to help make higher education accessible, affordable, and degree completion more achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FFWS wants to help reduce the financial barriers to college and lighten the debt of college. With reducing debt, students might be able to work fewer hours per week, have more time to study, and will be able to participate in campus clubs and activities. Refer to the FFWS page for more information on the grant.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Fund for Wisconsin Scholars (FFWS) is a grant that is gifted; they do not have to be repaid. There is no application process as eligibility is determined using data from the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). Once a list of eligible students is provided to the University of Wisconsin System Offices, recipients are randomly selected to receive the grant. Students will receive multiple emails to notify them about directions on how to accept the grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
