Time is Running Out!

Wisconsin Covenant is currently enrolling Freshmen until September 30, 2010.
Please note: 2010/11 eighth graders can begin enrolling later this fall.

In January of 2006, Governor Jim Doyle introduced the Wisconsin Covenant, a program created to inspire young people to plan early for a successful high-school career that will lead to higher education. Eighth and Ninth graders in Wisconsin are invited to sign the Wisconsin Covenant Pledge, a promise that they will:

  • Earn a high-school diploma.
  • Maintain at least a “B” average in high school.
  • Complete the classes they need to prepare them for higher education.
  • Demonstrate good citizenship and participate in their community.
  • Apply for state and federal financial aid in a timely manner.
  • Take the necessary steps to gain admission to a University of Wisconsin System institution, a Wisconsin Technical College, and/or a Wisconsin private college or university.

In return for meeting these goals and keeping the pledge, a Wisconsin Covenant Student will be recognized as a Wisconsin Covenant Scholar, earn a place within their partnered systems of higher education, and receive a financial aid package, based on their family’s financial need, to help make college affordable.

The unique partnership represents the support of the State, our K-12 schools, public and private university and technical college systems, and the community all working together to help students do their best.
