Veteran/Military-Connected Student

Turn service into a college degree. Whether you’re a veteran, on active duty or a military-connected family member, you have a home at a University of Wisconsin university.

Being connected to military service provides you benefits that make a UW degree well within reach. Exploring the educational benefits available to you is an important early step to enrolling at a UW university.

Three Steps to Get Started

Along the way, if you have any questions, please contact a Veterans Services Coordinator at the UW university you are interested in attending. Once you enroll at a UW, the Veterans Services Coordinator and Veterans Offices will be key sources of information and support.

Use the Find Your Program and the Find Your UW search tools to explore academic program options across all our UWs.

Federal and state educational benefits are available for active-duty military and veterans. Family members may also be eligible for benefits. Check out Military-Connected Educational Benefits information and connect with a Veterans Services Coordinator to address any questions.
