Dear Senator Weeden and Representative Gard:
Enclosed is the 1997-98 Annual Status Report for the Academic Excellence Scholarship (AES) Program. Submission of this report is in compliance with Section 39.41(7) of the Wisconsin Statutes which requires a yearly report regarding the AES Program be developed and provided to the Joint Committee on Finance. In addition to presenting final 1997-98 data, preliminary data is included for the freshmen who will enroll during the academic year 1998-99 as the ninth class of scholars since the inception of the program. If you have any questions about this report or about the AES Program, please feel free to contact me at 264.6181. Sincerely, Jane M. Hojan-Clark |

1997-98 1997-98 was the second year that the $2,250 cap was placed on the Academic Excellence Scholarship
(AES) freshmen recipients. There were 671 freshmen scholars under this cap requirement utilizing
$740,159 of the program's funds. In 1996-97, 694 freshmen scholars required $757,317 to fund their
scholarships. The cap was initiated to control spending. Once all four classes, freshmen through
seniors, have a tuition cap tied to their scholarship; spending in this program will be more
predictable and therefore more manageable. However, attention will need to be given to any trends
that reflect that the cap is discouraging students from using the scholarship.
Two amendments to the Academic Excellence Scholarship Program Statutes were made and implemented
this past fiscal year. The changes related to the participation by institutions of higher education
in the program and clarifying the required grade point average for the scholarship. Additional rules
addressing qualifications of students who receive the scholarship and the resposibilities of high
schools in naming the recipients were also approved and implemented.
Seven tables are attached showing final figures for 1997-98 along with preliminary data for 1998-99.
