Talent Incentive Program Grants (TIP)

The Talent Incentive Program (TIP) Grant provides grant assistance to the most financially needy and educationally disadvantaged Wisconsin resident students attending colleges and universities in the State of Wisconsin. First-time freshmen students are nominated for the TIP Grant by the school financial aid offices or by counselors of the Wisconsin Educational Opportunity Programs (WEOP). The TIP grant aids low-income and disadvantaged Wisconsin students with additional college funding to help reduce the student's amount of loan, work-study, or unmet need. To continue to receive the TIP Grant, students must continue to show financial need. Eligibility cannot exceed ten semesters. Funding for the TIP Grant is provided by the State of Wisconsin and administered by the Higher Education Aids Board (HEAB).
