Financial aid comes at a price for UW-L

The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse will provide about $5.4 million â?? more than any other UW System school â?? to help create $25 million in financial aid for Wisconsin students.

Gov. Jim Doyleâ??s 2009-11 state budget includes a one-time transfer of $25 million from UW System school reserves to fund student financial aid.

The system sorted out how schools would pay for the financial aid based on how much each had in reserve funds from user fees for residence halls, dining halls and other services.
