Summary
The bill sets up an Innovation Grant Program with $5 million allocated for the 2025‑26 and 2026‑27 fiscal years. Private nonprofit colleges that belong to the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities can apply for matching grants to launch new academic programs or public‑benefit infrastructure that address workforce needs. Grants are limited so no single college can receive more than 10 % of the total award pool.
