Wisconsin Covenant update

November 2, 2008 By WRN Contributor

covenant.jpg The Wisconsin Covenant continues to expand. The program has now enrolled 35,000 eighth grade students around Wisconsin, according to Amy Bechtum, Director of the Office of the Wisconsin Covenant .

Under the Wisconsin Covenant , students agree to graduate from a Wisconsin high school, take college preparatory classes, maintain at least a B average, and be a good citizen. Any student who fulfills the pledge will be guaranteed a place at a UW campus, a Wisconsin Technical College or a private institution. They'll also receive a financial aid package.

The U.S. Department of Education has awarded Wisconsin a $1.8 million grant to help students and families learn about, prepare for, and finance a postsecondary education.
