<p>No one owes you any money just because you are a stellar student- most of the UW students are stellar, some garner scholarships from other sources and from NMS. You are more likely to shine amongst your fellow HS students- check with your HS guidance office and apply for what they can offer. As above, UW alumni clubs exist all over the country, look up yours- info via the UW website. UW does not need to give money to attract the best students, everyone gets a break via the tuition rates. Do the work if it is worth it to you- and why not ask the same teachers for a scholarship recommendation?</p>
