Relating to: funding for student success and retention at University of Wisconsin System institutions and technical colleges and making an appropriation. (FE)

This bill allocates $10 million annually for student success and retention programs at University of Wisconsin System institutions and Wisconsin technical colleges. It creates dedicated funding streams (under statutes 20.285(1)(ct) and 20.292(1)(er)) to support existing efforts like academic advising and program administration. The funds are provided as a continuing appropriation, meaning they are guaranteed year-to-year without needing annual legislative approval. This directly affects students and institutions by providing sustained financial support for initiatives aimed at improving graduation rates and student persistence.
