Wisconsin Ends Race-Based Tuition Aid

Wisconsin’s Supreme Court just struck down a 40-year-old state grant program that gave tuition aid to minority students at private and technical schools, ruling it violates the Fourteenth Amendment. The court found the state couldn’t prove race was a compelling enough factor to justify the aid, echoing last year’s college admissions decision that diversity alone isn’t sufficient. Without solid historical data showing real need, the program’s race-based eligibility is now officially off the table — a major blow to students relying on it and a potential precedent for challenging other race-targeted aid programs. The state now faces urgent questions about how to handle pending awards, while the case heads back to lower courts for enforcement.
