Veterans Services and the GI Bill:
As a veteran, the most common way to apply for education benefits is through the GI Bill. There is the Post 9/11 GI Bill and a Wisconsin GI Bill. In many cases you can apply for both, and consider other kinds of benefits you may be eligible for.

Jobs and Work Study
Time Considerations
-- Nov & Dec = ~20hrs a week spanning 4 to 5 days (half days) at the discretion of the CT schedule
-- Jan-June= ~40hrs a week (all day, everyday)
Academic Year ~3 evenings a week, TWR, end by 7:30; plus Friday afternoon seminar.
Substitute Teaching, Tutoring and AVID mentors –
Limited roles with local school districts can be an option. We will work with you and school connections, but will need to evaluate each case. Also: 8 Substitute Teaching Days allowed each semester to replace fieldwork.
From the UWTeach Website: The Secondary Education program is done at an accelerated pace. You will need to commit many hours to courses, field experiences, and the accompanying work. If you are able to not take a job during this time, that is ideal. However, we also understand some situations necessitate a paid job.
DIRECT QUESTIONS of note for the group
Housing:
Living on campus is an option, and the UW offers an apartment complex focused on Grad students and families - Eagle Heights. However, most graduate students do not end up living on campus. Madison offers plenty of bike paths and buses are easily accessible in Madison. School placements will take your transportation needs into consideration
→ More information: UW Graduate Student Life: https://gradlife.wisc.edu/housing-and-transportation/
SHOUT OUT FROM PEERS: JEK has affordable housing options in Madison.
Graduate School Fellowships and sponsored admission:
Although the Graduate School offers information about research fellowships and graduate student assistantships, these are not a match with our program. Those opportunities require a significant commitment of time. The nature of our program will not allow you to accept a work based tuition remission position. HOURLY work is acceptable.
