Dual enrollment in Wisconsin
College credit earned while still in high school. It is the single largest lever on a college bill, and what it costs your family depends almost entirely on which state you are in.
The state covers dual-enrolment tuition, so college credit earned in high school costs your family little or nothing.
Early College Credit Program (ECCP), Wis. Stat. § 118.55
Free
If the course is taken for HIGH SCHOOL credit (whether or not also for college credit) and the district offers no comparable course, the pupil pays nothing: the school board/private school governing body pays 75% of the actual tuition, the state reimburses 25%, and the school is also responsible for books and other necessary materials. If the pupil takes the course for POSTSECONDARY CREDIT ONLY, the pupil is responsible for 25% of the actual tuition cost (school 25%, state 50%), and the school must waive the pupil's share if DPI determines it would be an undue financial burden. Tuition itself is capped at 1/3 of the UW resident undergraduate per-credit rate (1/2 at a two-year UW campus). Families pay transportation.
Who can enroll. Public, charter (including 2r/2x independent charter) and private high school pupils in grades 9-12 in Wisconsin, for fall, spring or summer terms, with a total limit of 18 college credits. The pupil must apply to the institution the previous semester and notify the school board by March 1 (fall) or October 1 (spring). Eligible institutions are UW System institutions, tribally controlled colleges, and private nonprofit colleges located in Wisconsin — technical colleges are NOT eligible under ECCP; pupils who have completed 10th grade use the separate Start College Now program (Wis. Stat. § 38.12(14)) for Wisconsin Technical College System courses.

Who goes here
19% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. That figure is also the federal shorthand for family income, and it is what most need-based aid and fee waivers key on.
