Our Blue Devil Guarantee
Have you worked hard in high school to keep your GPA high and crush the ACT? You deserve some recognition for that.
That’s why we’ve put together our Blue Devil Guarantee. Starting in fall 2019, every eligible new freshman will automatically receive one of these scholarships when they come to Stout.
To qualify for the Blue Devil Guarantee scholarships, you must be a new freshman student admitted to UW-Stout by the first Monday in February for the fall semester. If you improve your ACT/GPA, you can qualify for a higher scholarship! Submit your updated credentials no later than March 15.
