The Wisconsin GI Bill waives full tuition and segregated fees for eligible veterans and their dependents for up to eight semesters or 128 credits, whichever is greater, at any University of Wisconsin System or Wisconsin Technical College System school.
Qualifying Veteran
A qualifying Veteran is either a current Wisconsin resident who was either:
- A Wisconsin resident at the time of entry into active military service.
- A Wisconsin resident for at least five consecutive years preceding the beginning of any semester or session for which he or she registers at a qualifying institution.
Eligible Family Member
- A qualifying Veteran’s spouse or child may use this benefit if the Veteran has been awarded a service-connected disability rating of at least 30% by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or died in the line of duty or as a result of a service-connected disability.
The spouse or child must meet the same residency requirements as the Veteran.
