Unlike some universities, UW has no current plans to open minority financial aid to all undergrads

Universities around the country have begun to open up scholarship and financial aid opportunities, originally intended for ethnic minorities and women, to students of any race and gender. UW-Madison, however, has not yet followed suit.Since two 2003 Supreme Court cases dealing with race as a criterion for admission at the University of Michigan, many schools have changed their affirmative action policies to avoid legal challenges.
