<li>What are the odds of my getting a scholarship?</li>
</ol>
<p>The number of scholarships available fluctuates from year to year. Many circumstances can affect the number of scholarships Letters & Science has to offer applicants. Outstanding multi-year commitments to awardees, interest earnings on endowments, newly established funds, graduation rates, and depleted funds all impact scholarship availability. </p>
<p>In the Fall of 2008 over 90 scholarships were awarded to continuing students with approximately 400 applicants in the pool. However, Fall 2009 scholarships for continuing students decreased to 62 awards from 90 awards. And more applicants are expected with the new online application process. </p>
<p>Approximately 30 scholarships will be available for incoming freshmen for the 2010-2011 freshmen year. This number also reflects a decrease in awards from the prior year.</p>
<p>Of course your ability to receive scholarships is not only reflection of the Letters & Science values but also the time you spent on putting together your application and writing the essay questions. Keep in mind that the application pools contain exceptionally qualified students like you. Ask yourself what will make your application stand out among the crowd.</p>

<li>I am a non-resident student. Are there any scholarships available to non-residents?</li>
</ol>
<p>Non-resident students including international students can apply for scholarships. However there are fewer opportunities available due to donor preferences for Wisconsin residents.</p>
