Full Cost Limitation

The total value of all scholarships (including non-UW Oshkosh awards) plus federal and/or state grants may not exceed yearly school expenses as determined by the UW Oshkosh Financial Aid Office student budget. If so, the Enhanced Award will be reduced by the amount above costs. This policy helps us to maximize limited funds and award other deserving students.
