• If veteran is eligible for National Guard Tuition Grant or Reserve Tuition Assistance Program, then one is not eligible for the VetEd Grant; it does not matter if they applied for the other grant.

• The benefit is based on active duty service:– 90-180 days (30 credits or two semesters)– 181-730 days (60 credits or four semesters) – 731+ days (120 credits or eight semesters)

Grant ReimbursementGrant Reimbursement

• Payment - WDVA will reimburse 100% of tuition and fees up to the UW-Madison undergraduate rate for the same number of credits. Eligible fees are limited to Segregated Fees (UW System) and Material Fees (WTCS).

• Wisconsin GI Bill – the VetEd Grant reimburses the same tuition and fees remitted or waived by the Wisconsin GI Bill. In 2007 the Wisconsin GI Bill increased to full (100%) remission of eligible fees at Wisconsin public schools; leaving no fees eligible for VetEd reimbursement for an eligible veteran.
