Our Office

Mission

The mission of the UW-Stevens Point Office of Financial Aid and Veteran Services is to increase opportunities for student access to and success in higher education by helping all students and their families seek, obtain, and make the best use of all financial resources.

Through financial literacy and guidance, we support incoming students in making a successful transition to college. Furthermore, we contribute to the University's retention efforts by providing on-going assistance to our continuing students to help make their academic endeavors attainable.

While complying with Federal, State, Institutional, and Private regulations and guidelines, we ensure equity and consistency in the delivery of funds to all​​ students.
