The GLASS (Grants Loans and Student Scholarships) system is a modernized browser accessible Student Financial Aid System for Wisconsin.
It features:

  • System automation that minimizes manual intervention and boosts efficency.
  • Enhanced security, data integrity, and consistency across program areas.
  • Improved accessibility via a web interface for managing enrollment status, eligibility lookup, reporting, and more.

GLASS replaces a mainframe-based system used to manage grants, loans and student scholarships.

Starting Thursday, June 20th, 2025 at 2:00pm, the GLASS-Beta system will be unavailable while we work on the cutover. We anticipate being ready on Monday, June 30th, 2025, to let people in Production, but we will be sending a confirmatory email at that time.
