WiscAid: helping make financial aid count WiscAid Home

Welcome to the website for WiscAid, the Wisconsin Financial Aid Study!  Learn more about WiscAid and why your participation is important to the future of college financial aid in Wisconsin and across the nation.  

Your participation in WiscAid is critical to understanding how current trends in tuition and financial aid impact the ability of students to pay for college and achieve their academic goals. By providing state policymakers with information about the real experiences of Wisconsin students who depend on financial aid, we can work together to ensure that the world-class education offered by Wisconsin public colleges and universities remains affordable for all.  Help make financial aid count!
