Osher Re-Entry Scholarship

The Osher Re-Entry Scholarship supports undergraduate adult students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who are pursuing their first baccalaureate degree on a full-time or part-time basis. This scholarship is specifically designed for students who have experienced a cumulative gap in their education of five or more years, which can be non-consecutive. The scholarship provides up to $5,000 that can be used exclusively for tuition payments. Eligible applicants should anticipate participation in the workforce for a significant period of time following graduation. The program is open to new first-year students, transfer students, and re-entry students. Recipients are required to complete a FAFSA or Non-FAFSA Need-Based Aid Worksheet within 10 days of completing the application. This scholarship recognizes the unique challenges faced by adult learners returning to complete their undergraduate education after extended breaks, providing crucial financial support to help them achieve their educational goals and prepare for professional careers.
