University of Wisconsin seeks $190 million for tuition freeze
The University of Wisconsin system unveiled a "4-Year Tuition Pledge" asking the state for $190 million to freeze tuition for two years across its 13 campuses and to cap tuition for the next two years at no more than inflation. Leaders also proposed Wisconsin Work and Learn, a last-dollar aid program that would eliminate tuition for in-state students from families at or below the median household income in exchange for work or internships. The requests are part of a $730 million budget package that includes $90 million to train 35,000 healthcare professionals and $240 million for commercialization and workforce programs.
