March 21 – Executive Order regarding Department of Education

UW–Madison is aware of the new Executive Order related to the U.S. Department of Education, signed on March 20.

It is the university’s understanding that this executive order will not impact funding provided by the Department of Education for the current semester, including federal student financial aid and TRIO grants. With the spring term halfway through, most students have already received their financial aid, and disbursements will continue throughout the semester.

Campus leaders are working to learn more about the impacts of the order and when more guidance is available, we will share additional information.

For questions related to financial aid, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.
