Study: Wisconsin Covenant program needs Wisconsin government’s help (AP)

Gov. Jim Doyle’s program promoting college attendance may do little for those who need the most help without more tuition aid, according to a study released Wednesday.

The Wisconsin Covenant program should include state-funded scholarships for low-income students to improve their college attendance and completion, according to the study by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers. The study suggests Wisconsin model its plan after a successful program in Indiana.
