WI Lawmakers Look to Add Millions to Higher Ed.

Wisconsin Democrats unveiled two new bills that would inject 80 million-dollars into higher education.  

The first bill would put 40 million-dollars towards a Tuition Promise Grant Program. The money would go toward students’ tuition in the UW System for families with a household income of under 71-thousand-dollars.  The second bill would provide 40-million for student success and retention for the UW System and technical colleges. 

Both pieces of legislation require Republican support to pass.
