Badgers athletics: Increased cost-of-attendance stipends nearly finalized

University of Wisconsin student-athletes who are on full scholarship in 2015-16 are projected to receive among the largest, most varied cost-of-attendance stipends in the nation. The final totals are still being determined for the coming school year, but UW Athletic Department officials expect the range for each case to be between $3,800 and $5,200. That translates to an anticipated annual bill of $1.35 million to $1.5 million for UW Athletics, which has approximately 150 student-athletes on full scholarship and hundreds more on partial tenders.
