MADISON â?? Low-income students in the University of Wisconsin System applying for a popular financial aid program this fall will be put on a waiting list for the aid due to uncertainty surrounding the state budget, officials said Tuesday.
The Higher Educational Aids Board is imposing the waiting list for applicants starting Wednesday. The agency says it is running out of money for the Wisconsin Higher Education Grant program, which gives grants of up to $2,730 per year to thousands of students.
