2023 SENATE BILL 380
The bill makes a number of changes to financial aid for higher education, including changes to the
Wisconsin Grant program, the Talent Incentive Grant program, and the Grants to Meet Emergency
Financial Need program. The bill also repeals the provisions of current law that prohibit the Higher
Educational Aids Board (HEAB) and the University of Wisconsin System (UWS) from providing state
financial assistance to a person required to register with the federal Selective Service system who is not
so registered.
Under the current Wisconsin Grant program and the Talent Incentive Grant program, a student
generally may receive a grant for up to 10 semesters. The bill increases the number of semesters a
student generally may receive under these programs to 12.

Assembly Amendment 1 modifies the bill in regard to the number of semesters a student generally may
receive a Wisconsin Grant or Talent Incentive grant to the current 10 semesters from the 12 semesters
established by the bill.
