14 schools in Wisconsin award merit automatically, on a published GPA or test score. No separate application, no separate deadline — the award comes with the admission decision.

The number to compare these against is in-state tuition, a median of $9,170 across the schools below. The median largest award is $13,500.

Staying in state is usually the cheaper path before aid, but a large out-of-state award can beat it outright. Worth pricing both.
