The Higher Educational Aids Board is a part-time independent policy-making board composed of
eleven members appointed to serve at the pleasure of the Governor. The Governor appoints one member
from the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System; one member from the State Board of
the Wisconsin Technical College System; one member who is a trustee of an independent college or
university to represent such independent institutions; one student and one financial aid
administrator each from within the University of Wisconsin System, Wisconsin Technical College
System and independent institutions; one citizen member to represent the general public; and the
state superintendent of public instruction. The Board is a policy making body with policy making
and regulatory responsibilities.
Reports are prepared for the consideration of the Board on important issues. Members are urged
to work with issues from a state perspective and not from institutional and system perspectives.
The Board's input should focus on overall student need rather than upon the perceived need of
specific student categories, institutions, or educational systems.
Some examples of Board issues for discussion and action, when appropriate, include:
recommendations for Statutory and Administrative Code changes, Wisconsin Higher Education Grant or
Wisconsin Tuition Grant formula elements, and Biennial Budget Proposals.
