NON-RESIDENT TUITION PROGRAMS
Paying for college can be challenging. But there’s some good news for nonresidents of Wisconsin. You may be eligible for one of three tuition-reduction programs at select UW universities.
Minnesota Reciprocity
Minnesota residents may attend UW institutions and pay reciprocity tuition. Minnesota students can learn more about this program from Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
Return to Wisconsin
This program is designed for nonresidents of Wisconsin or Minnesota. Students who meet eligibility requirements will receive a 25% waiver of their nonresident tuition.
To be eligible, a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian must have graduated from the institution where the student will enroll. Get more details by clicking on the participating campuses:
Midwest Student Exchange Program
