An education from UWM can expand your mind, open doors and change your life for the better. Every school and college at the University boasts of at least one if not more American Indian graduate. Many have come before and left their tracks on campus. For many students, the most difficult part of college is paying for it. You must be an enrolled member of your tribe and demonstrate financial need.
Financial aid comes in the form of grants, loans, work study, or academic scholarships.
The most important thing to remember is to apply early. March 1 is the recommended application filing date. Meeting this deadline will ensure that you are considered for all the available funding through the Department of Financial Aid. We can assist you through the sometimes complicated process of applying for and understanding financial aid matters. These courses give all students a chance to learn about diverse tribes and about various aspects of American Indian people, such as intellectual traditions, contributions, world views, contemporary issues, sovereignty, and ways of life.
