Wisconsin Covenant Confirmation Process The confirmation process has begun and seniors who signed the Wisconsin Covenant pledge must submit documentation demonstrating they fulfilled it, thus gaining access to four years of grant money to help pay for college. Senior Confirmation forms have been mailed to students and can also be found at http://wisconsincovenant.wi.gov/ for downloading. The form consists of an instruction sheet and three pages that must be thoroughly and accurately completed, including signatures of students, parents, and high school designees. A Record of Service form demonstrating the completion of at least 30 hours of service must accompany the Senior Confirmation form.You will find the form on the Wisconsin Covenant website.
