It applies to Wisconsin residents who are enrolled in higher‑education programs, meet academic standards, and have not already earned an undergraduate degree (with an exception for firefighting credentials). The program is funded with $1.5 million for each of the next two fiscal years and is administered by the Higher Educational Aids Board.
