Affording a USM Education
USM is the best investment you can make in your child's future and, on average, we spend three times the amount that other Milwaukee-area schools spend per child to educate our students. This investment leads to students are who among the best-prepared—as learners, leaders, and citizens—for college and a life of purpose.
We also understand and appreciate the financial commitment families make in sending their children to USM, and we are committed to making a USM education accessible and affordable to all families.
For the 2020-21 school year, approximately 23% of our students benefited from nearly $3.6 million in tuition assistance. This chart illustrates how this assistance is awarded by household income levels.
