The Sentry Insurance Foundation will award four $2,500 scholarships annually to new, first-year students who are dependents of Sentry associates and planning to attend UWSP for the fall 2022 semester following their high school graduation. Sentry Dependent Scholarship applications are due to the UWSP Office of Financial Aid and Veteran Services by 4:30pm on April 1, 2022.
Sentry Dependent Scholarship recipients will qualify for automatic renewal if they maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA, carry a minimum of 12 credits per semester, and demonstrate continued extracurricular community and/or campus involvement. Scholarships can be renewed for three continuous years at UWSP.

Students who received the scholarship last year are eligible to receive the award again if the need is still present. The deadline to submit the application plus all required supporting materials is Friday, May 13th, 2022.
