Spring 2013
All UW campuses are invited to submit an update for the ByLine Campus Direct.
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. Otherwise, students may submit written letters from the service
location contacts indicating the number of hours completed. If they served at multiple locations to gather their 30 hours, they will
need a letter from each site.
The FAFSA is part of the confirmation process and needs to be completed to help determine the amount of the Wisconsin Covenant
grant awards. Students can go to www.FAFSA.gov to complete the form. If they need assistance with the FAFSA, go to https://www.
greatlakescollegeaccess.org/web/CAASD/index.html to connect students with Great Lakes College Access resources.
