## About this scholarship

The Technical Excellence Scholarship, administered by the Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board, is designed for Wisconsin high school seniors who demonstrate outstanding proficiency in technical education subjects. To qualify, students must be nominated by their high school and plan to attend a school within the Wisconsin Technical College System. 

This merit-based award is renewable and covers full-time tuition, up to $2,250. Because this program is based on technical achievement and high school nomination rather than financial need, there is no separate application for students to complete. However, applicants for state financial aid in Wisconsin generally must meet residency and academic requirements, and the state utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to determine eligibility for need-based programs. To remain eligible for this scholarship, recipients must maintain full-time, continuous enrollment from term to term. See the official page for current dates.
