    About this scholarship

    The Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board administers the Wisconsin Grant - PNP, a state-funded financial aid program designed for residents pursuing higher education within the state. This specific grant is reserved for undergraduate students attending participating private, non-profit colleges and universities located in Wisconsin. To determine eligibility and calculate financial need, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The state uses the information from the FAFSA, specifically the Student Aid Index, to establish the student's financial need and calculate the award amount. Recipients can receive up to $4,850 to help cover their educational expenses. Additionally, a Tier 5 award of $1,000 is available if funds permit. Because funding is limited, students are encouraged to submit their FAFSA as early as possible. For the most up-to-date information regarding application deadlines, applicants should see the official page for current dates.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
