A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
As a state-supported institution of higher education, the University of Wisconsin River Falls is committed to keeping tuition and fees affordable for Wisconsin residents and our surrounding communities. UWRF participates in the Minnesota Reciprocity program and the Midwest Student Exchange program to offer discounted tuition to out-of-state residents. We also offer a tuition discount to non-resident students who maintain a required minimum GPA.
UWRF participates in all Federal and State need-based financial aid programs. Through our offering of over 400 scholarships through the UWRF Foundation, we provide funds to students based on many factors, including academic achievement and financial need. UWRF also provides funding and educational support services to underrepresented and low-income students through the federally-funded Student Support Services grant.
UWRF supports low-income students through participation in the Fund For Wisconsin Scholars program. The program is a privately funded scholarship that seeks to reduce the dependency on student loans for Pell Grant recipients. Qualifying students receive a $4,500 grant for four years. UWRF is an inaugural participant in the College Cost Transparency Initiative.
