Wisconsin Fund for Scholars
The Wisconsin Fund for Scholars is a private charitable foundation that has been funded with a $175 million founding gift. It will provide grants to talented, lower-income graduates of Wisconsin public high schools attending a public college, university or technical school in Wisconsin. Grants are gifts and do not need to be repaid.

Wisconsin Covenant
Students who choose to participate in the Wisconsin Covenant will sign a pledge in 8th grade affirming that they will earn a high school diploma, participate in their community, take a high school curriculum that prepares them for higher education, maintain a B average in high school, and apply in a timely manner for state and federal financial aid.
In return for signing the Covenant pledge, each one of the Wisconsin Covenant Scholars will have a spot in either the University of Wisconsin system, the Wisconsin Technical Colleges, or at one of the state's 20 private, nonprofit and independent colleges.
