2Educational Aids Board).
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.
For further information, see the Notes provided by the Law Revision
Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
