2017 Wisconsin Act 206 created the Dual Enrollment Credential Grant to assist high school teachers to meet the minimum qualification requirements of the Higher Learning Commission for eligibility to teach dual enrollment courses.
Teachers may not apply directly for the grant. The grant application must be completed and submitted by the school district (if Public) or by the school (if Charter or Private school).
$500,000.00 is available annually with awards to be made to five categories:
The grant covers coursework in the pursuit of classes to enable dual enrollment credentialling. Eligible courses must have been taken during the summer and / or fall terms (before the grant application window) or the spring term (during the grant application window).
The application for the grant typically opens in late February or early March. Send an email to HEABmail@wisconsin.gov or directly to the contact below if you want to be added to the email distribution list for this program.
If your school district (public) or school (private or charter) received funds during the previous funding period, you are required to provide reporting regarding the previous funding. The reporting will be conducted via an emailed survey sent to the contact listed on the previous year’s application.
No new funds will be issued until the mandatory reporting is completed.
