The library delivers access to a vast and miscellaneous collection of electronic and print resources, conveniences designed to accommodate in a flexible manner a variation of learning needs, technologies that complement and boost the acquisition, synthesis and use of information, and staff to help students find and use the quality information they need. A university education comprises more than what goes on in the classroom. A great deal of learning takes place through involvement in organizations, research, and community assistance. Students have an abundance of choices to develop leadership services, form relationships, volunteer, make a difference, and have fun.

The site lies in a residential section of the city of La Crosse and is a key point of interest on the Great River Road that winds north and south through 10 states along the Mississippi River. The city is placed on the east bank of the river below towering 500-foot bluffs separated by steep-walled ravines known as coulees. Through the UW-La Crosse Foundation, UW-La Crosse is able to award over $1.2 million in scholarship money each year. Not only are scholarships available to entering freshman and transfer students, but also to continuing UW-La Crosse students. For International students, your best opportunity is to look at the UWL Foundation. There are several opportunities available for you to search through to find the best match. After you have completed the UWL Foundation application, you can search through our Outside Scholarship Database. Finding private scholarships is difficult for international students because of a specific requirement that asks for U.S. citizenship. International students will have the most success finding scholarships that do not have citizenship requirements. The SRC would be happy to assist any international student with their scholarship search to find specific scholarships associated with who they are and what they want to accomplish. One last opportunity is through the Office of International Education and Engagement. Through this UWL opportunity, you can apply for a bi-annual award that can assist with your overall cost of attendance.
