Southwest Wisconsin Technical College revising scholarship process

Officials at Southwest Wisconsin Technical College are revising the scholarship process to make sure financial gaps for each student are addressed. Rather than the traditional model of having students fill out a scholarship application, Southwest Tech will now be funding students according to their individual financial gaps. Those gaps are identified through student success plans that each student puts together with the assistance of college staff. The first round of scholarship selection will begin soon and it will continue at various times throughout the year. Students will be notified of their awards through their college email. To be eligible for 2025-26 scholarships, students must complete a financial budget with a college staff member, and submit a FAFSA or be FAFSA-exempt. The long-range plan is to help all students eliminate their financial gap.
