Metro Wire Staff

UW-Stevens Point wants to make applying for college easier by offering a no-cost application period in October.

Throughout the entire month, anyone can apply to any of the UW-Stevens Point campuses for the fall of 2021 without paying the $50 application fee.

The UW-Stevens Point College of Fine Arts and Communication, College of Letters and Science, College of Natural Resources, College of Professional Studies, and the UWSP Foundation have located funds to be allocated for this purpose.

In addition to the no-cost application period, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) officially opens on Oct. 1. By completing applications for UW-Stevens Point and Federal Student Aid in similar time frames, students are able to seek assistance for both applications at the same time.

UW-Stevens Point offers students more than 100 program options, including 80 bachelor and 16 graduate degree programs. This includes new bachelor’s and professional associate degree programs at branch campuses in Wausau and Marshfield.

To take advantage of this free application period, students will need to apply using the UW System application at https://apply.wisconsin.edu or the Common Application at https://www.commonapp.org/school/university-wisconsin-stevens-point.
