ABOUT
The Fund for Wisconsin Scholars (FFWS) provides grants to selected University of Wisconsin four-year college students to help make higher education more accessible and affordable and degree completion more achievable. FFWS helps reduce the financial barriers to college and lighten the debt that many Wisconsin students incur during their college years.
FFWS MENTORING PROGRAM
FFWS is here to support Titans both financially and personally. Through grants and a strong network of campus connections, the program helps students succeed inside and outside the classroom.
Every first-year and transfer student is paired with a dedicated peer mentor – an experienced second-year (or above) student who has also benefited from an FFWS grant. Mentors are here to answer questions, share resources, and help you feel at home on campus while building a supportive community.

UW Oshkosh Email Update:
Multi-Factor Authentication is two-step verification process that each UWO student must use when accessing their Outlook email account. This authentication process is to better secure your email, especially when accessing sensitive information. Because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised, this additional security step helps to make your account more difficult for others to access.
The UW Oshkosh IT Department has step-by-step instructions as to how to set this up on their website here.
