If you are currently serving in the military, have served in the past, or are a dependent of someone who has, you may be eligible to receive financial assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (V.A.). Northland College actively assists eligible students with applying their educational benefits towards a degree.

Wisconsin Veterans

Veterans who are Wisconsin residents may also be eligible to participate in the Vet Ed reimbursement program and the Wisconsin Veteran Student Assistance Grant offered through the state of WI Department of Veterans Affairs.

The V.A. School Certifying Official at Northland does not make determinations of eligibility, nor is she able to discuss specific remuneration amounts with eligible students. Please contact your V.A. representative with eligibility questions. If you are not sure of who your V.A. representative is, you can obtain further information by calling (888) GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) or visit Federal G.I. Bill®.

How to Apply

• Go to vets.gov and select “Apply for education benefits”.
• To request an application by mail, call 1-888-GI-BILL, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 7 pm (ET).

Once you have applied for benefits and received confirmation from the V.A., please provide a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to the V.A. School Certifying Official Kevin Haas or call with questions at 715-682-1255.

The V.A. highly recommends that all benefit-eligible students file the FAFSA and apply for financial aid, as benefits generally do not cover the entire cost of attendance.
