Wisconsin Tuition Promise (target audience: grade 12): Launching in fall 2023, the Wisconsin Tuition Promise is a new initiative to ensure underserved Wisconsin students can attend any UW System university without paying tuition or fees. The goal of the program is to increase the number of state residents who graduate with a bachelor’s degree – especially first-generation students and those from low-to-moderate income families throughout Wisconsin – thereby improving individual lives and communities and helping meet the state’s workforce needs. The Wisconsin Tuition Promise provides up to four years of tuition and fee funding for students coming from families with less than $55,000 AGI* and enrolling at 11 public universities other than UW-Madison (see Bucky's Tuition Promise) or UW-Milwaukee (see UW-Milwaukee Tuition Promise). Students must be Wisconsin residents and enroll in college full-time. Students will be automatically considered for the Wisconsin Tuition Promise when they complete and submit the FAFSA. Please see the website for additional eligibility requirements, preferred filing deadlines, and more. * this amount may change annually.
Scholarships (target audience: primarily grade 12): College-bound seniors are strongly encouraged to research and apply for scholarships. Every college offers its own scholarship opportunities and the application process will vary from campus to campus. In addition, thousands of private donors, companies, and foundations provide financial awards to high school seniors and current college students.
