STATE AND FEDERAL VETERANS' BENEFITS
Veterans may qualify for state and/or federal veterans' benefits. You should begin applying for veterans' benefits when you apply for admission to UW-Platteville's program because the process takes some time to complete. Due to the number of available benefit programs and their complexity, it is vital that you contact your county veterans' service office or the Veterans' Affairs Office on campus at:

Please be sure to return to the UWP Distance Education website because deadlines, admission recruitments, registration information, and tuition costs are different between on-campus and distance learning programs.
