University of Wisconsin System President Jay Rothman was at UW Green Bay yesterday (August 17th) to announce the creation of the Wisconsin Tuition Promise for UWGB and UW Oshkosh.
This initiative, which will start in the fall of next year, aims to ensure underserved Wisconsin students can attend any UW System university without paying tuition or fees.
Modeled on Bucky’s Tuition Promise at UW-Madison, the Wisconsin Tuition Promise would provide up to four years of tuition and fee funding for students coming from families earning less than $62,000 annually and enrolling at any of the other 12 public universities within the UW System.
Students will be automatically considered for the Wisconsin Tuition Promise when they apply for federal financial aid.
A full publicity campaign led by the universities will begin later this fall.
