Please see the communication below from our partners at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
With the Quarter 2 Driver Education Launch coming October 27th, 2025, we would like to follow up with some simple tips & reminders when redeeming coupons.
Tips for successful reimbursement:
- Student information entered in DEC must match the student information entered into the application exactly, including date of birth, middle name, and last name(s). If any part is hyphenated, include this within DEC. We suggest asking students to forward the confirmation email because the attached PDF includes the student information.
- When entering students into DEC, ensure no additional spaces or characters are entered into the fields (especially after you copy/paste the coupons into the fields).
- After you have entered a coupon, tab or click out of the coupon field before hitting submit. This will ensure a green check mark and reimbursement amount populates. If you see a price discrepancy, please do not redeem the coupon and contact us for a fee change.
- If you are entering both classroom and behind the wheel courses, please enter and submit one at a time. Coupons will only redeem in the course 1 field.
- Classroom course must be entered before behind the wheel if you are redeeming both. If behind the wheel is redeemed first, the classroom coupon will automatically cancel.
Reminders:
- The grant program is not to be used as a refund program. If the student has made partial payments, down payments or has a balance due, a refund will not be issued in place of payment from the grant.
- DMV will continue auditing grant recipients of the grant and driver training schools at random. This ensures that funds are going to students and families that are qualified to receive them, and fees remain the same for grant vs non grant students.
If you are currently enrolled to receive driver education grant funding, there are no additional steps needed to be able to redeem coupons under the new funding.
If you are not enrolled in the driver education grant program, unsure of your status or have any other additional questions, please reach out to us at: dotdegrantprogram@dot.wi.gov.
