Scholarships for Nontraditional UW-Madison Students

Thanks to generous contributions of our donors, the Division of Continuing Studies administers a number of scholarships specifically designed for nontraditional and adult students. While the eligibility criteria vary, there are two main categories of scholarship awards:

1.  Returning Adult Student Scholarships

There are scholarships available to newly admitted or currently enrolled UW-Madison degree students. Some scholarships require a significant interruption in study, or have specific age and gender stipulations. Applications accepted December 1–March 1.

2.  Single Parent Scholarships

These scholarships are available to newly admitted or currently enrolled UW-Madison degree students who are single parents; and scholarships provide $1,000-$2,000 in funding support per academic year. Applications accepted December 1–March 1.
