About this scholarship
The Bridge to Completion Fund is a need-based scholarship worth up to $1,500 (one-time), awarded from your FAFSA-demonstrated financial need after other aid is applied, prioritizing the students with the largest remaining gap.
This is a one-time award; it is not renewed automatically.
Who is eligible
This award is open to students within two terms of graduation facing an unexpected funding gap. Meeting the description here does not guarantee an award — funding is limited and awards are made from among eligible applicants each cycle.
How to apply
File the FAFSA by the priority date on financial-aid.html; no separate application is required. The financial-aid office notifies eligible students directly once packaging is complete.
Deadline: Rolling, as funds allow.
Renewal
Renewal requires a new FAFSA each year, continued demonstrated need, and satisfactory academic progress under the same standard that governs federal aid.
Common questions
Can I apply for this and other scholarships at the same time? Yes. Most Porter scholarships can be combined with each other and with need-based aid, though total gift aid cannot exceed your cost of attendance; the financial-aid office adjusts automatically if a combination goes over.
What happens if my GPA drops below the renewal threshold for one term? This award is one-time, so renewal does not apply.
Does this scholarship reduce my loan eligibility? It reduces need-based aid only if, combined with everything else, it would put your total aid over your cost of attendance; ask financial aid to check your specific package.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. The Bridge to Completion Fund, its donor, amount, and every deadline on this page are invented; nothing here is a scholarship you can actually apply for.
