Veteran Benefits
Veterans and certain eligible dependents may be entitled to educational benefits under various programs administered by the Veterans Administration. Veterans and eligible dependents may obtain these benefits while pursuing a course of study at UW-Eau Claire. Students enrolled under these programs must carry 12 hours of credit during each semester of the academic year to be eligible for full-time allotments. Summer session allotments are determined by class dates or length of class and number of credits. All veterans must complete the Veteran Information Sheet before enrollment will be certified to the Veterans Administration. This form is available in the Veterans Services Office, Schofield 128.
