SB189,1,2
1An Act to amend 21.49 (2) (a) and 21.49 (3) (a) of the statutes;
relating to:
2national guard tuitions grants.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an eligible national guard member, upon completion of a
course at a qualified school, is eligible for a grant equal to 50% of the tuition charged
or 50% of the resident undergraduate tuition charged by the University of
Wisconsin-Madison for a comparative number of credits, whichever is less. This bill
increases the percentage paid from 50% to 100%.
Currently, warrant officers are not eligible for national guard tuition grants.
This bill allows warrant officers to receive national guard tuition grants.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
