The Wisconsin State GI Bill

Information on eligibility requirements can be viewed at
Wisconsin FREE TUITION Application Packet for Veterans and Dependents This link includes eligibility information and forms. If you have questions on eligibility after you have read the information, you should speak with your Veterans Service Office in the County in which you reside.

The *WDVA Form 2029 (found in the packet) must be filled out, signed, have the appropriate documentation attached and given to the Veterans Service Office at the school.

  • If the approval is not received when your tuition is due you will be responsible to pay the fees and once approval arrives from the WDVA the school will reimburse you.
  • The Form 2029 must be received in the Veterans Office at CVTC within 14 days of the start of the semester.
  • Even if you were approved at a previous school, you must still reapply to both the WDVA and CVTC.
* WDVA = Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs
