A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
Financial aid is money provided to help meet the costs of attending college, and may consist of any combination of grants, loans, scholarships and work study. Aid is intended to help make up the difference between the students' educational costs and the amount their family is expected to contribute, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

For graduate students there are grants, scholarships, and graduate assistant positions available to help students pay for school

The Financial Aid Office strives to ensure all students receive the most favorable aid award possible according to their individual needs and aid availability. Aid is awarded on a priority basis (neediest students receiving more in grants, work study and low-interest loans), and not all students will be eligible for need-based aid.

A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
We are the "go to" place for nontraditional students at UWSP, serving as a resource and providing a variety of services and support designed to meet your needs and help you succeed here at UWSP.
We are available to assist you each week during the academic school year. Our office (066D DUC) is a great place to do your homework, meet with study groups, and network with other nontraditional students. Stop in and use our student computers and printer free of charge.

When you come to the nontraditional office, be sure to sign up to be on our email distribution list, and while you are here, check out the bulletin board where you will find current scholarship postings and other information pertinent to nontraditional students.
