Military Education Benefits

Students who are in or have had military experience have numerous opportunities to take advantage of educational benefits offered through each military branch or as a veteran. Forms of assistance and benefits range from scholarships to the GI Bill. Current of future UW System students may want to consider ROTC.

National and state benefit programs are available to military veterans. The Department of Veterans Affairs has information on the GI Bill. The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs provides Wisconsin veterans with information on educational benefits and opportunities. Students may want to contact the veterans affairs coordinator at the UW System campus they wish to attend for assistance and information. Go to the veterans' affairs coordinator information from UW HELP Online.

The Wisconsin National Guard provides educational benefits for its enlisted students. Specific information is available on the Wisconsin Air National Guard web site and the Wisconsin Army National Guard Web site.
