Funds can cover tuition, books, room and board, computers, tablets, and many other expenses. This may be funds for universities, colleges, professional schools, technical colleges, graduate programs across the country, and even at some institutions abroad.
Edvest provides tax deductions for Wisconsin residents (limitations apply). Any earnings are free from federal income tax when used for qualified expenses. UW employees are also able to utilize direct deposit from their payroll with a minimum contribution of $15 per pay period.
