UW-Madison Undergraduate Scholarship for Summer Study

Scholarship opens February 10 and closes April 6, 2025

Students at the UW–Madison Geology Museum

In summer 2024, over 1,000 students received $500-$1,000 scholarship offers through this award. Each summer, more than 13,000 students enroll in summer courses offered on campus or online.

Summer Term is fortunate to be able to provide undergraduate scholarships for summer study. These are need-based awards given to high-achieving undergraduate students seeking financial support to attend Summer Term at UW–Madison. 

Scholarship availability and amounts are subject to vary, though typically awards range from $500-1,000. Please note that if you apply for the Summer Finish and/or the Summer Internship scholarship in addition to the Undergraduate Scholarship for Summer Study, you are not able to receive all awards. If selected, you will only receive one of the awards.
