Private donation provides boost to faltering Wisconsin Covenant program

About 800 Wisconsin students will receive more money for college through the Wisconsin Covenant program thanks to a funding boost from a private source. The announcement pours some new life to the Covenant program, which is no longer accepting new enrollees. The Wisconsin Covenant, one of former Gov. Jim Doyle?s signature programs, promises high school students they will get a spot at a Wisconsin college or university and some financial help if they earn at least a ?B? average in high school and stay out of trouble.
