Badger Ready is a transitional program for adults 25+ and veterans of any age who may face barriers to completing an undergraduate degree due to a past academic record. Students who successfully complete the Badger Ready program requirements are typically then admissible as transfer students to UW–Madison. While in the program, these students are University Special Students and as such, do not qualify for financial aid and most scholarships.
The Badger Ready Scholarship fund will help students in the program complete the coursework necessary to then be admitted and matriculated as undergraduate students at UW–Madison.
