Program Looks to Benefit Low-Income Students

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is expanding its tuition promise program for low-income students. 

Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin outlined the new Bucky’s Pell Pathway in her first address to the UW Board of Regents on Thursday.  The program covers full tuition for Wisconsin students whose families earn below a certain income threshold.  The university guarantees it will provide enough money in grants, scholarships, and work-study money to cover all of qualifying students’ financial need.  Mnookin estimates the program will benefit about 800 students when it launches in the fall.
