TAP award.

TAP Grants ($5500/year) are generally awarded to students who:

- submit all necessary application materials for full-time undergraduate degree program;

- are academically admissible to UW-Superior;

- submit a TAP application form, and

- demonstrate sufficient financial support for the remaining expenses;

Global TAP Scholarships ($2,000/year) are awarded, in addition to the TAP Grant, to students who demonstrate

particularly strong academic achievement. Note that for Global TAP Scholarships:

- academic merit is the primary basis for the award, but financial need and campus diversity may be taken into

consideration;

- special consideration is given for achievement demonstrated through scores from the SAT, ACT, International

Baccalaureate (IB) programs or internationally-administered A-Level exams;

- athletic ability is not a criterion, but other forms of school or community involvement are considered;

- a personal statement and/or letters of recommendation are encouraged;

- all students who meet the criteria for the TAP Grant are automatically given consideration for a Global TAP Scholarship;
