MADISON, Wis. (AP) – University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly says he plans to launch a statewide fundraising campaign to boost need-based financial aid.
Reilly says the goal is to double the privately-funded aid awarded to low-income system students from $6 million to $12 million per year.
He says the system will publicize the campaign on its Web site and sell donors on the benefits of supporting need-based grants for students.
