FAQs

Who is eligible to benefit from the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Advantage?

Most students whose parents’ income is less than $150,000 and are residents of Wisconsin or Illinois will benefit from the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Advantage. Families whose income is under $70,000 will have 100% of tuition covered with grants and scholarships. 

How does the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Advantage work?

Each student’s financial need is calculated by subtracting their "expected family contribution" from the total cost of attendance.

Cost of Attendance Includes tuition, fees, housing, meal plan, books, transportation, and personal expenses
- Expected Family Contribution This figure is based on the FAFSA and financial aid application.
= Financial Need This amount is what the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Advantage covers through scholarship, grant, loans, and student employment.

Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ’s generous financial aid typically covers 90-95% of a student’s financial need through scholarships, grants, loans, and student employment. With the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Advantage, any remaining need will be met with an additional Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ grant. 

Do we need to apply or complete any additional paperwork?

Families simply need to complete the FAFSA and supplemental financial aid application. 

What if our family's state residency changes?

If your family moves out of Wisconsin or Illinois after previously receiving aid from the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Advantage, your future aid will not be affected.

What happens if our household's income changes in the future?

We recognize that income may fluctuate from year to year. If your family’s income changes, reach out to the Financial Aid Office.

Does the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Advantage apply to Off-Campus Programs?

Your aid will be based on your family’s need and the cost of residing on campus. If there are additional costs to studying abroad, there will not be an in-kind increase in aid. However, Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ offers an abundance of scholarships for off-campus programs.
