Wisconsin Grant – Private Non-Profit


Name: Wisconsin Grant – Private Non-Profit

Award Amount: Minimum $250, maximum set annually by HEAB

Information and Eligibility:
The Wisconsin Grant for Private Non-Profit Colleges provides financial assistance to undergraduate Wisconsin residents who are pursuing degree or certificate programs at non-profit independent colleges in the state. This grant is designed to reduce the cost of attendance for students who choose private higher education while helping close the financial gap between tuition costs and available aid. The purpose of the program is to make college more accessible for Wisconsin students so they can attend the institution that best meets their academic and professional goals.

The amount of the award is based on financial need, the cost of attendance at the private institution, and the difference in tuition when compared to public universities in the state system. Students may receive varying award amounts depending on their personal financial circumstances. To qualify, students must maintain Wisconsin residency and be enrolled at least half time in an eligible undergraduate program. Recipients may continue to receive the grant as long as they demonstrate financial need and meet renewal and enrollment requirements. Funding is available for a maximum of ten semesters for students who remain in good standing.

Application Requirements:

  • Wisconsin residency at the time of application
  • Enrollment at least half time in an eligible degree or certificate program at a non-profit independent college in Wisconsin
  • Demonstration of financial need according to state and college guidelines
  • Submission of all required forms and financial aid applications

Selection Criteria:

  • Financial need as determined by state and institutional guidelines
  • Enrollment in an eligible private non-profit institution
  • Compliance with renewal and academic progress requirements

Additional Details:

  • Award amounts vary based on need and tuition levels
  • Maximum award amounts are set each year by the Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board
  • Eligibility is limited to ten semesters of funding
  • Funds may be applied toward tuition, fees, or related educational expenses
