It is ESSENTIAL that the nominee return the WAES form."

Does anyone know what is on this "WAES form"?

Here's the whole FAQ:

Is it important for the AES nominees to return the WAES form?

It is ESSENTIAL that the nominee return the WAES form. If a recipient does not give HEAB the name of the Wisconsin college he or she will attend, via the WAES form which is sent to the student in the spring, then HEAB cannot complete the student's record to allow for release of the funds. Also, if the student is not using the funds at a participating institution, he or she MUST release the scholarship before an alternate may receive it. Delays in sending the information and in sending the release to HEAB mean delays in awarding an alternate.


Were you awarded the WAES last spring? If so, it says you should have gotten the form last spring.

I am a senior in high school and my counselor said that according to my current rank I will be recieving this award. Will there be any questions on the form asking if I had in the past won any other scholarships or awards for college? I already have a tuition remission scholarship to a wisonsin college, so if they ask for this information will it affect my chances of gettin the WAES?

I'm 99% sure that when my son got this in 2010 there were no financial or other scholarship questions ever asked on any forms. The purpose of the form is to find out if you will be attending a participating school within the state. If someone chooses to attend a school outside the state, they want to know so they can award it to an alternate candidate.

This scholarship is half paid by the state and half paid by the participating school. It's possible it could impact the amount of your tuition remission. You'd have to ask the school about that.
