The U.S. Department of Education and the State of Wisconsin provides the following major Student Financial Assistance Programs:
Student Loans
See Loan Information for specific information about student loans.
TEACH Grant
(Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant Program)
TEACH is a unique federal program designed to encourage students to enter the teaching profession and teach in a high need field at schools with low-income populations. This is a non-need based grant of up $4000 per year up to a life time limit of $16,000. The TEACH has the potential to become an unsubsidized student loan with interest accumulating back to the original disbursement date if requirements of the program aren’t met. Undergraduate students must, at minimum, be accepted as a candidate into the UW-Green Bay Education Program. Graduate students admitted into the MS in Applied Leadership for Teaching & Learning must be teachers in a high need field for consideration. The Financial Aid Office will notify if you are eligible for the TEACH.
Non-Resident Fee Remissions
The State of Wisconsin does provide non-resident fee remissions for graduate and undergraduate students. Graduate Student Fee Remissions are administrated and awarded by the Graduate Student Office.
Specific criteria for awards are determined by the Graduate Office.
Advanced Opportunity Grant (AOP)
The AOP grant is funded by the State of Wisconsin, and is intended to encourage and assist graduate minority and/or disadvantaged students with educational costs. Both Wisconsin residents and non-residents are eligible, although preference is given to needy Wisconsin residents.
The amount of each AOP grant is based on a number of factors, including the number of approved applications, the student’s enrollment, and FAFSA information. Since funding is limited, students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as early as possible for consideration.
