State Veterans Benefits

Wisconsin Veterans Education Grant (VetEd)
The Veterans Education (VetEd) Grant Program provides a reimbursement grant for tuition and fees following successful course completion.
Wisconsin veterans who have not yet been awarded a bachelor's degree may use VetEd to pursue educational or vocational objectives up to a bachelor's degree at an eligible University of Wisconsin system, technical college or approved private institution of higher education. Reimbursement is currently up to 100% of the tuition and fees not covered by other grants, scholarships or remissions. The maximum reimbursement is the equivalent of the UW-Madison rate for the same number of credits, up to the full-time rate. The reimbursement percentage may be adjusted periodically to reflect demand and available funding.
To qualify for most Wisconsin state veterans' benefits, programs or services a veteran must first establish general eligibility for Wisconsin state veterans' benefits. Eligibility criteria for Wisconsin state veterans' benefits, programs and services including exceptions to minimum military service requirements are set in law (Wis. Stats.Ch 45). General eligibility consists of two board requirements:
- Military service (character, type, duration)
- Wisconsin state residency
For additional information and specifics on eligibility criteria consult the Education Programs page of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) web site.
