Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the higher educational aids board (HEAB) administers
various student financial aid programs for state residents, including Wisconsin
higher education grants, talent incentive grants, tuition grants, handicapped
student grants, Indian student grant assistance, minority undergraduate retention
grants, and minority teacher loans.
This bill makes the following changes to the above programs: 1) the bill
renames the tuition grant program as the "Wisconsin tuition grant program"; 2) the
bill specifies that a student must be enrolled in a degree or certificate program to be
eligible for a Wisconsin higher education, talent incentive, minority undergraduate
retention, Indian student assistance, or handicapped student grant; 3) the bill
specifies that a student must be enrolled in a degree program to be eligible for a
Wisconsin tuition grant; 4) the bill specifies that the minimum Indian assistance
grant is $250; and 5) the bill changes references in the minority undergraduate
retention grant and minority teacher loan programs from "Black American" to
"African American." The bill also reorders various statutory provisions based on
recommendations by HEAB.

of the joint legislative council.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
