National Guard Tuition Grant
Wisconsin is committed to helping National Guard members from the state pay for college. Eligible applicants must be enlisted men or warrant officers currently serving in the state who do not hold a bachelor's degree. Applicants cannot be flagged for absences or failing to meet standards. Grants can be applied to tuition only at accredited schools in Wisconsin. Grant recipients are required to maintain a 2.0 grade-point average. The grants are available only for eight semesters, so student soldiers must complete their studies in a timely fashion. Grant recipients who fail to meet their obligations to the Guard may be required to repay all grant monies.
