Whitewater, WI

Are undocumented students considered international or domestic?: Undocumented students are considered domestic, but can be considered as either a resident or non resident for tuition purposes. After applying, an admissions counselor will reach out asking for the necessary documents to determine if the student qualifies for in-state or out-of-state tuition.
Are you need-blind for undocumented students?: We do not take financial need into consideration when reviewing applicants. Admissions decisions are based on academic achievement only.
Are there any restrictions on merit aid for undocumented students at your school?: There are no restrictions preventing undocumented students from receiving aid.
Does your school provide merit aid specially for undocumented students?: Through the Admissions office, there are no scholarships available only to undocumented students. Since most undocumented students will be considered non-resident, they are eligible to receive our merit based Non-Resident Scholarships. Details on these scholarships can be found on the PDF attached below.
How would their status affect their application?: Having an undocumented status does not negatively affect your application. You will not be denied simply because you are undocumented. Your status will only affect your residency for tuition purposes.
Other admissions information: One of the questions the application asks is about your Citizenship status. Disclose here that the student is undocumented.
