USA: University of Wisconsin-Superior Tuition Award Program

University of Wisconsin-Superior Tuition Award Program (TAP)

UW-Superior' s Tuition Award Program (TAP) aims to foster a campus community that is culturally diverse and academically strong. In 2007-08, more than 90% of admitted undergraduate international students qualified for a TAP award.

Award amount: $5,500 to $7,500 per year (Average for 2007-08: $6977)

Non-resident tuition & fees in 2007-08: $13,680

Available for: Freshmen and transfer undergraduate international students

Majors Offered: http://www.uwsuper. edu/admissions/ freshmen/ academics/ majors/

Duration: Award renewable for a maximum of eight semesters. Students may petition to receive additional semesters. Awards for transfer students adjusted accordingly.

Deadline: Fall: July 1 / Spring: November 1

TAP Grants ($5500/year) are generally awarded to students who:
- submit all necessary application materials for full-time undergraduate study
- are academically admissible to UW-Superior
- submit a TAP application form
- demonstrate sufficient financial support for the remaining expenses

Global TAP Scholarships ($2,000/year) are awarded, in addition to the TAP Grant, to students who demonstrate particularly strong academic achievement.

Note that for Global TAP Scholarships:
- academic merit is the primary basis for the award, but financial need may be taken into consideration
- special consideration is given for achievement demonstrated through scores from the SAT, ACT, the International Baccalaureate program or internationally- administered A-Level exams.
- athletic ability is not a criterion, but other forms of school or community involvement are considered.
- a personal statement and/or letters of recommendation are encouraged
- all students who meet the criteria for the TAP Grant are automatically given consideration for a Global TAP Scholarship
