UW Sustainable Management Tuition & Financial Aid

Tuition for online UW Sustainable Management programs is:

  • Bachelor of Science: $390 per credit ($24,570 total for 63 credits)
  • Certificates: $390 per credit ($4,680 total for 12 credits; $5,850 total for 15 credits)
  • Master of Science: $675 per credit ($22,950 total for 34 credits)

Tuition costs are the same whether you live in Wisconsin or out of state. There are no additional course or program fees. As these programs are online, you will pay no segregated fees—fees in addition to tuition that cover the costs of student-organized activities, facility maintenance, and other campus operations. However, textbooks are purchased separately and are not included in tuition.

Financial Aid

Financial aid may be available to you as an adult student. Financial aid is awarded by your “home” campus. Contact your home campus financial aid office for details.

To apply for federal and state financial aid, fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Even if you haven’t made a final decision about whether or not you will apply for this program, you may want to consider completing a FAFSA. Completing this form is always the first step when applying for federal or state financial aid.

Other Sources of Financial Aid

As an adult student, you may also consider these resources to help with the cost of an online degree:

  • Loans are typically offered at low interest rates. Loans must be repaid, usually once you’ve left school.
  • Tuition reimbursement is offered by many companies to their employees. Check with your human resources department to see what’s available.
  • Military benefits are available to qualifying veterans and those currently serving.
  • Private loans are available in addition to federal grants and loans. Private loans must be repaid.
  • Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement or other criteria; financial need is sometimes taken into account. Scholarships don’t need to be repaid.
  • Grants are awarded based on financial need and don’t need to be repaid.
  • Education tax benefits may be available. Talk with your financial adviser about possible tax benefits.

Scholarship Opportunities

The University of Wisconsin Sustainable Management program offers three scholarship opportunities to help new and continuing Bachelor of Science students pay for their education.

  • Sustainable Employer Match Scholarship: If your employer offers a tuition-reimbursement program, this scholarship will cover the cost of one Sustainable Management course ($1,170) when your employer pays for a second course. For new bachelor’s students only.
  • Green Student Scholarship: If your employer does not offer a tuition-reimbursement program, you can apply for this $500 scholarship. For new bachelor’s students only.
  • Sustainable Management Academic Scholarship: If you have completed at least two courses in the bachelor’s program and maintained a 3.0 or higher grade point average, you are eligible to apply for this scholarship. Awards range from $250 to $1,170; the more courses you’ve taken, the greater the award. For continuing bachelor’s students only.

These scholarships are available each fall and spring semester; the deadline for submissions is the first day of the semester. For details, visit the Scholarships page.
