Wisconsin National Guard Tuition Grant

What is the Guard Grant?

The Wisconsin National Guard Tuition Grant is a grant program for enlisted members of the Wisconsin National Guard. Students may receive a grant that covers up to 100% of in-state tuition (not including segregated fees) while earning their first bachelors degree. You must remain in good standing with the National Guard (pass fitness tests, attend scheduled drills, etc.) to use the benefit. If you separate (get out or ETS) before the end of the term, you will not receive a reimbursement.

This benefit can be used simultaneously with federal education benefits such as partial Post 9/11 GI Bill® , the Montgomery GI Bill® – Selected Reserve, or Dependents’ Educational Assistance.

You can find qualifying schools and contact information for the Grants Specialist at the link below.
