MADISON, Wis. (AP) — New in-state University of Wisconsin-Madison students will get free tuition if they come from families making $56,000 or less.
Chancellor Rebecca Blank announced the initiative, dubbed "Bucky's Tuition Promise," at a UW System regents meeting Thursday.
She said a perception that the school is too expensive keeps some Wisconsin high school students from applying and UW officials want to end that belief.
The guarantee begins in the fall of 2018.
In-state tuition and fees now are $10,533 a year.
