Wisconsin Administrative Code Higher Educational Aids Board
The Wisconsin Administrative Code is a collection of rules and regulations created by state agencies in Wisconsin to implement laws passed by the Wisconsin Legislature. Each agency is responsible for its own chapter(s) in the code.
The Higher Educational Aids Board (HEAB) is the state agency that administers financial aid programs for students in Wisconsin, such as grants, scholarships, and loan programs. HEAB operates under the rules set in the Wisconsin Administrative Code. These rules specify things like:
Eligibility requirements for students applying for grants or scholarships.
Procedures for applying for aid.
Requirements for schools participating in state aid programs.
Rules for repayment of loans, if applicable.
In the Wisconsin Administrative Code, the sections relevant to HEAB are usually under Chapter HEA (Higher Educational Aids). This chapter contains detailed administrative rules about:
Student eligibility – Who can apply, what criteria they must meet (residency, enrollment, etc.).
Application procedures – Deadlines, forms, and documentation required.
Awarding aid – How grants or scholarships are calculated and distributed.
Repayment or default rules – For any state loans or canceled grants.
So basically, the Wisconsin Administrative Code provides the legal framework that HEAB follows to administer financial aid programs in a standardized, fair, and transparent way.
