A new analysis of 2022-23 school year data reveals that public college is less affordable in Wisconsin than in nearly every other state.
The nonprofit National College Attainment Network, which advocates for college access, reports annually on each state’s “affordability gap” between the cost of college and what students and their families can pay.
“We saw (Wisconsin) stand out as particularly unaffordable as compared to our national average and to the other states in the region,”
said report author Louisa Woodhouse, a senior associate for the organization.
Author summary: Wisconsin ranks low in college affordability.
