University of Wisconsin-Superior

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Wisconsin-Superior?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $8,812 for Wisconsin residents: $7,081 in tuition plus $1,731 in fees. For out-of-state undergraduates, the corresponding total is $16,726, including $14,995 in tuition. Residency classification therefore makes a substantial difference to the published price.

• Wisconsin-resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $8,812.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $16,726.
• Wisconsin-resident graduate tuition and required fees: $9,658.
• Out-of-state graduate tuition and required fees: $18,789.

These figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. Housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses add to the budget, and costs vary for commuters, residents, part-time students and those in programs with additional charges. Students comparing offers should use the university's current, category-specific cost-of-attendance estimate rather than adding an unrelated year's housing price to these tuition figures.

Financial aid can reduce the amount a student pays, but loans must generally be repaid. In the reported aid data, 78% of students received financial aid and 43% had student loans. Federal grants, Wisconsin aid, institutional scholarships, loans, veteran education benefits and Federal Work-Study have different eligibility rules. Filing the FAFSA and meeting applicable scholarship deadlines are important steps; the financial aid office can explain which awards appear on an individual offer.

Reported average net price also differs by family income. For families with annual income of $48,001-$75,000, the figure is $9,710; for families above $110,000, it is $17,859. Net price is an average after qualifying grant aid, not a quoted bill or a promise of what a particular household will pay.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Wisconsin-Superior?

Eligible UW-Superior students can consider Federal Work-Study as well as ordinary part-time employment. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program: an award establishes eligibility to earn wages through qualifying work, but it is not cash automatically deducted from the tuition bill and does not guarantee a position.

Students can ask the financial aid office how Work-Study eligibility is determined and where approved jobs are posted. Other campus jobs may be open without a Work-Study award; off-campus positions follow their own hiring and scheduling rules. A laboratory, office or community-service job can provide experience, but it should not be confused with an internship that carries academic credit or fulfills a major requirement.

For longer-term planning, career services are reported to offer résumé preparation, career-interest tools, interview workshops, a job bank and job fairs. Students can use those resources to explore work and prepare applications; their availability does not establish a particular employment outcome.
