UW-Superior’s Tuition Award Program (TAP) aims to foster a campus community that is culturally diverse and academically strong. In 2009-10, more than 90% of undergraduate international students who qualified for admission also qualified for a TAP award.
TAP Grants ($5500/year) are generally awarded to students who:
- submit all necessary application materials for full-time undergraduate degree program;
- are academically admissible to UW-Superior;
- submit a TAP application form, and
- 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 and campus diversity may be taken into consideration;
- special consideration is given for achievement demonstrated through scores from the SAT, ACT, International
Baccalaureate (IB) programs 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;
