Hello...

I'm Renee Berg, founding Director of Operations for Wisconsin Student Success Initiative. I am a proud mom of two, and I’m a tax planning professional with 25+ years’ experience serving primarily low to moderate income families and small business clients.

I understand first-hand the vital role that proper planning plays in qualifying for short-term and long-term student financial aid. Furthermore, I understand how quickly student loan debt can add up and become a serious financial burden.

In my opinion, all students/parents deserve no-cost or low-cost access to unbiased professional planning tools and resources to help them plan for the future. Tools/resources that can help them explore various career options and determine their best plan of action to acquire the education, skills and experience local employers are looking for.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who or what exactly is Wisconsin Student Success Initiative?

Wisconsin Student Success Initiative is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity who’s mission is to mentor students of all ages as they pave their path to success.

#1 - We educate families about WI’s Private School Choice tuition relief for qualifying students age 4-20.

What is Wisconsin Private School Choice?

Wisconsin Private School Choice programming is sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. It provides qualifying students an opportunity to attend a participating private school of their choice at no cost.

In order to qualify initially, the student/family must meet certain age, prior school attendance, income and residency criteria. Once a student is admitted to the program they usually are able to remain in the program through 12th grade unless a non-qualified residency or school change occurs. Household income does not need to be proven every year...only on the student's first application.
